Beware of Wild Animals
Our region boasts a number of fascinating zoos and parks where
you can easily enjoy the antics of an abundance of unique
endemic animals. When traveling unescorted in the wilds, beware
of the following:
|
| Crocodiles
require particular vigilance. |
|
| Cassowaries
are large flightless birds (up to 2 metres tall!) with
powerful legs and sharp claws. |
|
| Feral
pigs are rarely seen but are potentially dangerous
as they have no fear of man. |
|
| Snakes should be
treated with caution and left alone as it is difficult
to identify species. If someone is bitten, transport
immediately to the nearest hospital or phone 000 for
emergency assistance. |
|
| Leeches live in
damp leaf litter and attach themselves to any bare flesh.
Wear your socks over your trousers and apply repellent. |
MOSQUITO BORNE DISEASES
Mosquito
borne diseases occur occasionally
in tropical north Australia, and prevention is the best
protection. |
