Cape Tribulation Daintree Rainforest – What An Awesome Sight!
The passengers of a ‘Solar Whisper’ cruise were treated an awesome and rare sight when they witnessed nature at its best. They were lucky enough to observe, from a safe distance, a salt water crocodile feasting on a smaller one. This is not common behaviour for a ‘saltie’ however when one is hungry one has to eat.
