Crocodiles at golf course
GOLFERS are facing an unusual feature on a links in tropical northern Australia — crocodiles that live in the course’s lakes.
Two or three crocodiles of just over a meter in length have recently been spotted at the Half Moon Bay Golf Course near Queensland state’s coastal city of Cairns. It is believed they have made the place their home.
“Ever since the course was formed in 1969 we’ve had crocs around the area,” manager Greg Ferry said. “Crocodiles in far north Queensland are just a way of life.”
Ferry said while a “nasty” crocodile measuring about 2.6 meters was removed a couple of years ago, the present reptilian guests were more of a novelty than a threat.
“They are more scared of us than we are of them at the moment,” he said, adding he had got to within about 30 meters of one before it darted back into the water.
