8 BE CROCWISE Northern Australia is home to the Estuarine Crocodile, which can be found in both salt and freshwater. Crocodiles mostly inhabit rivers and hunt in the shallows or near the water s edge. Beaches are used by crocodiles to move between rivers. All waterways are connected, so while the risk of crocodile attack is low, there's no such thing as a croc-free zone in Northern Australia. Make sure you stay safe and be Crocwise around our beautiful rivers and beaches. CROC COUNTRY Cairns Townsville Mackay Rockhampton IF YOU SEE A CROCODILE, REPORT IT Brisbane Crocodile Country stretches from Gladstone all the way up and across Top End of Australia. YOU CAN EASILY REDUCE YOUR RISK OF CROCODILE ATTACK BY: Swimming between the RED AND YELLOW FLAGS at patrolled beaches Not swimming at dawn, dusk, or at night Reading and obeying all crocodile warning signs Understanding that crocs can attack in knee-deep water, so wading can still be dangerous If in doubt ask a lifeguard or your tourist guide or accommodation reception.

9 MARINE STINGERS Australia s waters contain many sea creatures, including marine stingers. Although they are generally quite easy to avoid, stingers can cause discomfort if you are stung and some tropical species (the Irukandji and the Box Jellyfish, for example) can be lethal. So, to ensure you enjoy your day at the beach, always remember to swim at a patrolled beach and look out for the safety signs. STINGER STAFETY Wear protective clothing (lycra suit) Swim in designated areas Carry vinegar at the beach and on the boat Swim under supervision Have access to mobile or VHF radio For more information visit: lifesaving.com.au/marinestingers What to do if stung 1. Call for help or lifeguard 2. Emergency care - CPR if neccessary 3. Treat the sting - douse with vinegar 4. Seek medical attention
