Pub Travel: Sharing the Bar with a Crocodile

June 26, 2008 at 9:35 AM | by amandak | 2 Comments

Tourists are often worried about crossing paths with a crocodile when they're visiting Australia's Northern Territory, but all you really need to know is you shouldn't smile at one--even if it sidles up to you at the bar.

That's what happened this week at the Noonamah pub on the outskirts of Darwin, and when the croc appeared, some local drinkers acted fast to tape its mouth up and put it in a box. Despite a few spectacular headlines, it wasn't a scary croc--the thirsty visitor was just two feet long.

But we still recommend watching where you put your beer down if you're in an Aussie pub. The next crocodile to walk in could be bigger.

    Only in Australia

    would they know correctly how to deal with a croc.

    But were any of the bar patrons wearing Crocs?

    in Australia ...

    LOL ... but especially in the Northern Territory, I think more patrons would have bare feet than be wearing Crocs. Us Aussies are real casual, y'know.
