Hartley's Crocodiles

Hartley's Crocodile farm is part commercial crocodile farm, part tourist attraction. For the tourists there are boat tours on a lagoon which is home to 19 crocodiles, ranging from 2.5 to 5 metres in size. Just as well as on the daintree river it is vital to keep your arms inside the boat. Although they are taking less chances here... the boats are enclosed with glass panes!


This guy is the largest in the pack and also the oldest. And he has only one eye left.

Croc in the water, right next to the boat (therefore the glass).

Croc jumping out of the water to reach for a piece of chicken dangling from a stick!

The commercial part of the farm: Future shoes, bags and belts.

And again tourist entertainment: The "Crocodile Attack Show"




The "death roll"



And to wind down after all the action, there is the wallabie feeding .

"Come on, eat your veggies!"
