Title: Hartley's Crocodile Farm
Post by: Snorzac on July 25, 2009, 11:41:13 AM
We did a half day tour to the Hartley's Crocodile farm which is close to Port Douglas and has many crocodiles as well as other reptiles and Australian native animals such as koalas. If you would like more details on Hartley's please visit, http://www.crocodileadventures.com/ (http://www.crocodileadventures.com/)

This is one of the boats that takes you on the wetlands tours at Hartley's

A crocodile rests beside the boat

Another croc rests on the bank as the boat passes.
The next few are all of the one crocodile named Bart who features in the crocodile attack show so I am going to leave them without captions.

The majority of the freshwater crocs all up against the fence soaking up what's left of the afternoon sun.

Last of all it is one of the biggest crocs on the farm, wouldn't want to go over that fence :o

So that is it for Hartley's, next up will be some pictures from my Resort followed by Green Island and the US Navy shiips.
