Hi Rob,

The salt water crocodiles have been known to swim inside the stinger nets at Ellis
Beach, so it would be advisable to apply both sun block and croc repellent before
venturing into the water.

I'll drink to that

come to think of it I'd drink to anything

[Bassnut]

I think you'll find southern comfort inoculates against box jellyfish and provides a sun filter of sorts.......... Not sure about crocks though . Anyway I'll do all four and report on how it goes :D

where i live at kewarra beach then in the same bay we have clifton beach then Palm Cove ..there has been croc action two dogs in last 3 months one was a 40kg..... Crocs are in the hight of breeding so they can sneak up very close to waters edge

I was talking to a group of Danish Eclipse Chasers last night at Sydney Obs. warning them of the same thing. Not to even go ankle deep in water because of the stingers.
