In the last few entries I’ve glossed over the dangers of crocs etc, concentrating more on the dangers of hose pipes and ceiling fans.  However, with all the flooding currently ongoing.  Deadly snakes and crocs are getting washed out of their rivers and creeks, and ending up in people back yards.

A quote from the local paper:

Several crocodiles have been seen swimming through local streets, while a deadly brown snake shocked drivers waiting for the water to recede on the Bruce Highway south of town.
Resident Patrick Barrett said the town was surrounded by crocs waiting out flooding in the cane fields.
“Every night we see them, you can just see their eyes.
We know they are out there.  You can hear them groaning during the night.”

Sounds like the plot to a schlock horror movie, a town cut off, crocs surrounding the place, waiting for the floodwaters to get high enough to invade, locals huddled in their houses, being kept awake at night by groaning noises and the occasional flash of a glowing eye, watching, waiting.
