A pleasant area is Mission Beach, it's away from the cities and is much quieter. Populations of about 1,000 people and several resorts to stay in if one wishes.
Crocodiles are present in the Mission Beach area, as it's considered 'croc country' in tropical Queensland, with both freshwater and estuarine species living in the region's waterways, around all water bodies, especially after high tides or heavy rain. Swimming, yes you can but be aware of those 'stingers' that are in the sea water in the months of summer. It's fairly safe to swim between the flags on patrolled beaches there.
You can see Dunk Island, Bederra Island, Wheeler Island, Coombe Island, and Bowden Island, and I think there are a few more as well.
Where all the markers are is where Mission Beach is.
Lovely sandy beach! Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very beautiful there. The beach looks so peaceful.

Every creature had a reason for being on earth. But did the crocodile ever have a purpose that we know about? Or was it just a godly joke over millions of years?
ReplyDeleteMargaret, answering Helgs' curiosity, I will say that they play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems. There are various organizations and programs dedicated to the conservation of crocodiles around the world. These initiatives include habitat protection, trade regulation, and education about the importance of these reptiles in ecosystems.
