You’re in the Down Under… of course you can’t come away without seeing a crocodile or two. Driving the terror of this Australian animal deep into the hearts of National Geographic viewers everywhere was Steve Irvin’s legacy to the world. 35 km east of Rockhampton, see the beneficiary of that legacy in the flesh. The days are usually burning hot, but hey, that’s fair trade for being allowed to coddle a baby croc isn’t it? Keep those cameras ready; the croc is always grinning anayway. The guides are very helpful and will often leave you with some valuable advice: you can outrun crocs.

• Check out the restaurant, which serves crocodile meat dishes.

• AUD 12 for under 16.

• Tours are at 10:30 am–12:00 pm and 1:00 pm–2:30 pm.
