Kaum angekommen mussten wir doch zu allererst mal Krokodile sehen...
Broome is a very beautiful little town, full with all the bloody backpackers. Very good beach but for sure not a place to enjoy silence.
As soon as we arrived we had to see crocodiles at first...
Hoch motiviert, angstfrei und neugierig vor dem Eingang.
High motivated, without fear and curious in front of the entry.
Das war das letzte Mal, dass ich Ewelina gesehen hab.
That was last time I have seen Ewelina.
Die meisten dort wurden eingefangen weil sie zu nah an Menschen gelebt haben, oder verletzt waren.
The one with Ewelina was not real of course but this one here is... Good that there were fences. If there is a croc lying in the sun you have to look twice to notice it, even the big ones. Saltwatercrocs are not friendly and some backpackers who went for a swim, ignoring the warnings, never got out. We have seen the feeding (noooo, not backpackers) and you really don't want to jump in the water anymore. What beautiful prehistoric monsters.
Most of them got caught because they were living to close to people or they were injured.
Die fuehlen sich wahnsinnig schoen an, sehr weich. In dieser Farm werden Krokodile auch aufgezogen fur das Fleisch und die Haut. Immernoch besser als Wildfaenge.
They really feel nice and soft. In this farm they raise the crocs for the meat and the skin. Still better then catching them in free nature.
Nachdem wir da lebend rausgekommen sind erstmal zum Strand ins Wasser springen. Wir haben wohl doch nichts gelernt... Aber Hauptsache eine dicke Schicht Sonnencreme drauf und ein dummes Gesicht machen, vielleicht haelt das die Krokodile fern. Aber keine Sorge, da flog immer ein Wasserflugzeug rum von der Kuestenwache und haben geguckt ob da eins rumschwimmt. Voll beruhigend...
After we survived this farm we went straight to the beach to jump in the water. I guess we didn't learn our lessen... But the main thing is to put a thick layer suncreme on and make a stupid face. Maybe that holds the crocs back. But no worries, there was a plane from the coast guard and they were looking out for them. Really comforting...
