Where to see a croc in Darwin
If you're thinking about visiting the Northern Territory, your trip isn't complete without seeing a crocodile. The Top End is home to one of the biggest populations of both saltwater and freshwater crocs in the world. Male salties average a huge 5m in length and can weigh over 500km - a true apex predator!
