They are everywhere now. When I came to Darwin in 1977 they were in pretty small numbers and rarely seen but they are a real danger now in most of the waterways. Berry Springs is regularly closed every year now because of sightings, but I have only heard of freshies in Howard Springs.
They pull an average of around 300 salties out of the harbour every year - have traps set all over the place. This time last year, we had overseas visitors so went 'touristing' to Corroboree Billabong. It was no trouble spotting the crocs - they were everywhere you looked. Dozens of them. And they aren't scared of boats or people.
