Crocodile Tears

Young and travelling Australia A lovely water fall we were off to see This water fall is a absolute must To visit when in the Northern Territory Though crocodiles have never been sighted there They cannot officially say no crocodiles here Though tourists have visited and swam in The Gorge Without any issues year upon year To get to this amazing waterfall You must first paddle in the water quite a way In between two large rock cliffs To arrive at this wondrous waterfall display Late afternoon we paddled out On two cheap air mattresses to get us there The water was full of activity With people everywhere The waterfall was not disappointing We enjoyed and had great fun When we decided it was time to leave The sun was disappearing and everyone had gone! I actually started to panic It was late and we were alone I was now convinced crocodiles were lurking Just never seen before….or just not known?!?! I started to imagine I heard splashes Of crocodiles on the rocks entering the water I grew completely paranoid and afraid I could longer use my arms and paddle like I ought to! My poor husband was now towing me His air mattress quickly leaking and rapidly going down Camera held in his mouth and paddling with one arm He eventually towed me to solid ground!! My husband was “really not” happy with me As I had panicked and cried the whole duration Continually saying “what was that?” “It was a crocodile” I had actually convinced him we were a crocodiles ingestion !!!!
