Weipa ED concern about surge in non-urgent, after-hours patients WEIPA residents have been asked to use their hospital emergency department only for e m e rg e n c i e s a f t e r hours. Weipa Integrated Health Service (IHS) Director of Nursing and Midwifery Brenda Close said the hosp i t a l ’s e m e rg e n c y department was experiencing a signiďŹ cant increase in the number of people presenting in the evenings and early mornings for non-urgent health issues. “This increase in after-hours presentation for non-urgent and routine problems is putting a strain on our medical, nursing and operational staff,’’ Ms Close said. “We have fewer doctors, nurses and other staff on duty in the emergency department after 5pm and before 8 am and they are really there to deal with emergencies.â€? “Whenever there is a signiďŹ cant increase in presentations to the ED after hours we have to call doctors and nurses back into the hospital. “This should only be happening when a patient is seriously injured, seriously ill or

needs immediate treatment.’’ Weipa IHS Medical Superintendent Dr Alex Dunn said he urged local residents to use the emergency department responsibly. “As a hospital, we are not geared to run a general practice service after hours for routine and non-urgent conditions,’’ he said. “The best place for all non-urgent and routine consultations to occur is in a general practice environment.’’ Dr Dunn said coming to emergency after hours for a routine problem did not guarantee people would be seen more quickly. “In the emergency department, priority is always given to people with the most urgent needs,’’ he said. “Although the emergency department waiting room may on occasion not appear to be busy afterhours, staff may be very busy indeed behind the scenes in the ED ward area treating patients brought in by ambulance that could have urgent medical needs. “You won’t see all this activity from the waiting room.’’

Rocking out for Ancient History

Getting into the Rock n Roll spirit: Front Row; Danielle, Teagan, Taylor, Alyssa (L-R). Back Row; Gabrielle, Mickeely, Ailie, Caer (L-R). BY SHANNON POWER ROCKWIZ is coming to Weipa to support Year 12 students of Ancient History on Saturday August 9 at the Golf Club.

Funds raised from the music quiz will help the students get to Europe on a two-week tour visiting key historic sites. Despite the trepidation of their par-

ents, the students are excited to visit places such as Delphi, Pompeii, Athens, Rome and London. The trip costs $6,000 per student and the teenag-

ers would love to see the town come along to the fundraiser to show their support. Ancient History teacher Caer Stanesby said the night will be a mix

of the television shows Spicks and Specks and RockWiz with ten rounds of music trivia. “There’ll be Guess the Riff, Who Am I?, and the questions will

be from new and old school music,� said Ms Stanesby. Tickets are $25 and are available from the school or the camping store at the shopping centre.

IN last week’s edition, the Western Cape Bulletin incorrectly published that the community movie night will be hosted by Weipa Community Care. The correct host of this free event is the Weipa Town Authority. Weipa Town Authority presents the free screening of Frozen, Saturday 9 August, 6:30pm, Rocky Point.

Mr Baira, an electrical maintainer said he faced challenges as a mature apprentice, including raising a young family. “When I started TAFE, I’d been 10 years out of school and in the first two weeks I was blown away by the mathematics and

all I had to learn.” Ms Kepper believes that the constant recognition from her crew leaders helped her achieve her original mission when she first begun at RTA. “It helped a lot knowing that people were rec-

ognising the good work I was doing, and knowing what my flaws were and what I could do to improve, has definitely helped me with maintaining the goal when I started my apprenticeship, which was to get a job at the main workshop.” Hoping to be a positive role model for his community, Mr Baira said that there are always career options no matter your age. “It’s probably an eye opener for the locals up here, that it doesn’t matter how old you are you can achieve greatness, the path you take just doesn’t have to end just because you’ve finished school and there’s always light at the end of the tunnel.” The duo will now be in the running for the state awards to be held in Brisbane in September.

Enjoy Lake Patricia

Accident correction THE Western Cape Bulletin would like to correct the details published in relation to a fatal traffic crash at Weipa on July 13, based on information incorrectly provided by the Queensland Police Service, which stated that a woman was a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the crash. This is not the case, only a male driver and three children were in the vehicle when the incident occurred. Queensland Police media unit also apologises for the error.

WEIPA Town Authority would like to notify Weipa residents that the toilet facilities at Lake Patricia have been fixed, and encourage families to continue enjoying this great recreational spot.

Goodline apprentice overcomes to be top apprentice BY SHANNON POWER A YOUNG apprentice who is battling a rare illness will be nominated for his achievements in the upcoming Western Cape apprentice and trainee awards run by Skills 360. Ben Casey has been suffering from Castleman’s Disease, a con-

dition that affects the lymph nodes, but has persevered through his training at Goodline to be close to finishing his apprenticeship as a boilermaker. Catherine Kennedy, executive manager, Goodline said it is important for employers to recognise staff, especially young people who of-

ten work in the shadows of qualified tradesmen. “I know he’s good because all the tradesmen asked for him,” said Mrs Kennedy. Mr Casey who came to Weipa from Bundaberg said he likes the lifestyle here and he’s happy to be nominated for the awards. “It’s good to know I’m

portant life skills as well. “You are also teaching young boys to become men,” said Mrs Kennedy. Mr Casey will head off for four months of radiation treatment but is excited about his nomination and is keen on a bit of healthy competition. “It’s good going up against Rio.”

NAPRANUM residents had the opportunity to enquire about proposed changes to land legislation and present submissions to the State Government’s Agriculture Resources and Environment committee. The committee was in town to ďŹ eld questions about proposed changes to a land bill that could see community land converted into freehold title land. Changes to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Land (providing freehold) and other legislation Amendment bill 2014 were apart of a pre-election promise by then Opposition Leader Campbell Newman. Members of the committee were quick to emphasise that allowing freehold in a community is optional and could be “activatedâ€? at any point in the future. Should a communi-

Traditional Owners, community Elders and representatives of the Napranum Shire Council attended the inquiry with some presenting to ask committee members speciďŹ c questions. Jackie Madua, Traditional Owner was the first to approach the committee with questions and after the meeting said there is a huge amount of work ahead to understand the impacts

amendments to the bill and made assurances that even if it is passed, communities do not need to act on it. “This bill is probably a bit like people applying for a driver’s license, all the criteria’s there, you can go and get a driver’s license if you want but you don’t have to drive. But if you do, you’ve got to do; this this, and this. The same thing here; the community doesn’t have to go to freehold land but if they do, they’ve got to talk to traditional owners, put ILUAs (Indigenous Land Use Agreement) in place, or talk to the local council.� Mr Rickuss said it was the government’s responsibility to ensure people understand freehold and what they’re doing with it. “I would say in 25 years time people will look back and say it was a good bit of legislation to start the process and that’s what it’s about.�

Free-to-air channels need to be retuned AS the ďŹ nal step in Australia’s successful move to digital-only TV, some TV channels will be changing frequencies. This is part of a national program known as the retune that moves free-toair television channels to new frequencies to free up space for new services such as mobile broadband. Viewers will need to retune their TVs to continue receiving free-toair channels. The retune will take place across Australia

progressively until the end of 2014. Retune dates will depend on viewer and tower locations. Some people within the same town or city will have different retune dates, as some areas may be serviced by a number of TV towers. The best way to ďŹ nd the retune date in their area is by entering their address into the “Get retune infoâ€? box on the website at www.digitalready.gov.au/retune. There is a range of

of the legislation. “It was a good information session to hear what the bill is all about. I believe proper work shopping around it and understanding about how the legislation will affect us long term.� “People could agree to it today but it’s about seeing future benefit,� said Ms Madua. The community will consult with the council in August to suggest any amendments to the legislation ahead of the committee’s deadline to

report to Parliament on August 11. Concerns were raised about the small amount of notice given to Napranum about the committee meeting. Ms Madua said she had found out about the committee only two days prior to the meeting. Aboriginal Christian worker Brooke Prentis said she was worried about the lack of consultation process. “As Aboriginal people in Queensland, we’ve been hit with a number of pieces of legislation particularly in the past 12 months....which have taken us by surprise and we haven’t had a chance as a community to really talk about how these changes affect us, but more importantly to feed into the drafting process.� Committee chair, Ian Rickuss MP, said a lot of consultation had been made with various groups when drafting the

Writing is on the wall for CASA ineptitude: Entsch BY MARK BOUSEN

THE Federal Government is “continuing to consider” a review Civil Aviation Safety Authority’s (CASA) handed down last month. It was initially understood a one-month period would be allowed for public comment on the review. The second feedback round ended on June 30. The Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development and said last week only the original submissions were public, and where those lodging them agreed to them being made public. “There was never any intention that the followup feedback be made public as it was a less formal process.” The review into Australian aviation safety has been described as putting the spotlight on CASA’s “toxic and

vindictive” culture and practices. Member of Leichardt Warren Entsch said: “It’s the best report relating to CASA that I’ve seen in a long time. “I congratulate (chairman) David Forsyth and the panel who reviewed this because I see this as the first opportunity we’ve had to really lift the veil of CASA and deal with the inappropriate practices, the vindictiveness and the bloody-mindedness of those within the organisation. “There’s going to be a level of accountability that I suspect is going to send a bit of a shiver down the spines of some of those CASA officers.” Mr Entsch has been an outspoken critic of CASA, and maintained the rage over the demise of Barrier Aviation, describing it as a vendetta against a longserving business with an

impeccable safety record of service to the Torres Strait, Cape York and the Northern Territory. He vowed he would pursue CASA when elected to Government prior to last year’s Federal election, Mr Entsch said that most of the 37 recommendations related to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and were common-sense. They range from CASA needing to have a more-collaborative approach to regulatory oversight, to recommending that nonexecutive directors possess a background in aviation and safety management. “In addition, the new Director of Aviation Safety will have to take a leadership role and have management experience and capabilities in cultural change at a large organisation like CASA. These recommendations

WONTULP-BI-BUYA COLLEGE

The now-defunct Barrier Aviation which was a victim of CASA action which has been widely criticised. are really no-brainers. “I’m also pleased to see the recommendation that CASA conduct surveys every two years to assess their relationship with industry.” Mr Entsch said: “At this stage I would have to say their relationship is toxic and non-existent, so it can only improve from here. “These are absolute fundamentals, but are things that CASA has been missing for a long time. It’s because of this you have fabulous general aviation businesses like Barrier Aviation driven to the wall.

We ‘don’t need’ another Lockhart River BY MARK BOUSEN A PROMINENT aviation figure says the industry demands a rootand-branch reform of operations of the industry under the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). The man, who spoke exclusively with Regional and Remote Newspapers, publishers of the Western Cape Bulletin, says the community and the aviation industry do not want another Lockhart River. He has been longtime critic of CASA and its operations, and preferred to remain anonymous at this stage in fear of reprisals from aviation authorities. This writer has had access to some of his files and they reveal some amazing matters which have never seen the light of day despite his best efforts and intentions. The source says he has been continually blocked and thwarted by the industry’s regulators, administrators and successive governments.

The wreckage of the Lockhart River air disaster on May 8, 2005. “This review is too late for the Lockhart River victims and John Quadrio.” (All 15 people died when an aircraft en route from Bamaga to Lockhart River smashed into mountains on May 7, 2005. It was Australia’s worst aviation disaster since 1968. (John Quadrio was a pilot who flew for a Cairns-based helicopter charter company who lost his job and licence based on an unsubstantiated You Tube video posted by an alleged passenger. The industry generally regards Quadrio as being persecuted.) The Forsyth ASRR report calls into doubt

the role of CASA and the way it undertakes its role. “Little positive response from the aviation industry to CASA’s operations was evoked in the review.

day NAIDOC party the-top sense of humour. Competitions on Friday night included coconut husking and spear throwing. SkBoiiz from Cairns performed for the crowd who were getting excited to see the fireworks and Djuki Mala dancers.

A few moments before the ‘Chooky Dancers’ hit the stage, a huge fireworks display began- a first for Napranum- to screams of delight from local children. The ‘Chooky Dancers’ flew directly from their Elcho Island

home to celebrate with community and spread an important message about youth suicide. Both Weipa and Napranum residents were treated to the hour-long show from the dancers which has received standing ovations at the Sydney Opera

House. Rounding out the evening and the three days of celebrations was a performance from Soul-jah. Mayor Philemon Mene said: “This event was a wonderful success and the on be-

half of the Council and the Community. I would like to thank the board members of the Central Sub-Regional Trust of the Western Cape Trust and the Department of Prime Ministers and Cabinet for funding the event, I would also like to

thank the many local businesses that sponsored the event and the Napranum Events Committee and council staff that worked tirelessly to make the event such a huge success, we look forward to more events like this in the future”

GEMINI (May 22nd - June 21st)

FOR KIDS

Don’t change your mind too often! A decision which you make now will affect your life for the next few weeks. Make sure that you think it through carefully before you say “yes”. Romance. A surprise comment from a long-standing admirer will cheer you up. A phone call from this person later in the week will help to cement your relationship.

CANCER (June 22nd - July 23rd)

Don’t spoil your chances for promotion by getting into an argument with your boss. If you want to make your opinions felt do so in a way which doesn’t challenge this person’s authority. Romance. A romantic get-together will end up being much more fun than you have been expecting. A favourable aspect to Mercury early in the week will help you to communicate with each other.

LEO (July 24th - August 23rd)

You have had a string of disappointments recently and may be feeling a little despondent. A powerful aspect to Jupiter later in the week will help to give your luck a boost. Romance. Your relationship with your partner will soon be in better shape than it has been for some time. You have plenty to celebrate!

A disagreement at work may start to have an effect on your home life. Get things in perspective, and try not to worry about something which is very unlikely to happen in practice. Romance. Recent changes to your lifestyle will ultimately be for the good. It may take a while to adjust, however. A long discussion with your partner later in the week will pay off.

SCORPIO (October 24th - November 22nd)

A friendly remark from a person whom you admire will make up for a negative comment earlier in the week. You may be confused about what this person really thinks of you, however. Romance. An admirer who has been interested in you for a long time may suddenly pick up the courage to make a move.

MUDDY RIVER

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd - December 21st)

A favourable aspect to Neptune will help your powers of intuition to work well. Your gut feelings about a new situation will be the best way to gauge if it is working in your favour or not. Romance.This will be a very good time for romance. You have a lot to look forward to later in the week.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd - January 20th)

An important possession may suddenly turn up out of the blue. It has been a while since you last saw this, and you have been missing it. Romance. An issue that is not very important should be forgotten: don’t let it lead to an argument. Be especially careful later in the week, when you both may be feeling a little tense.

AQUARIUS (January 21st - February 19th)

QUOTE OF THE DAY

SOLUTIONS No. 209

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

PISCES (February 20th - March 20th)

This is not the best time for keeping things under wraps: a powerful aspect to Pluto later in the week could bring some long-forgotten secrets out of the closet. Romance. You will be especially sensitive to your partner’s needs at the moment. A surprise gift around the middle of the week will be appreciated.

- William Penn Page 14 Western Cape Bulletin

You will need to make an important decision before you get a chance to learn all the facts. So long as you trust to your intuition, you shouldn’t go far wrong. Romance. A colleague whom you thought you knew very well may surprise you today. This person has been interested in you for some time but has been trying to hide his feelings.

What position will you hold at the Western Cape College and what are your aspirations for this position? I will be a Special Education Program Teacher. I aspire to ensure that all children are able to access the curriculum to the best of their ability and participate inclusively in their classrooms when possible. What do you think the biggest challenge teaching in a remote school could be? The biggest challenge about teaching in a remote school would be having regular access to specialists (disability related) and being able to pick up a few things from the “cheap” shop.

What is your teaching background and where have you come from? Since 1992 I have taught

the early childhood age group in four different schools – two of them very small schools in Central Queensland with around 28 students. What position will you hold at the Western Cape College and what are your aspirations for this position? I work with the Prep B students. The enthusiasm for learning, the wonder and excitement shown by young children is quite special. My aspiration as an early childhood teacher is to help build this love of learning even more. My philosophy is based on the importance of building relationships and that each child/person is unique.

Telecia Shepherd

What is your teaching background and where have you come from? I am Early Childhood trained and I have been supply teaching since graduating last year. I have made the big move up to Weipa from Mackay. What was your favourite subject at school and why? My Favourite subject would have had to be PE closely followed by art. PE allowed me to be the loud, energetic and the bubbly person am today, as I was always told to use my inside voice in class. Art let my imagination run wild and I was able to be hands on, messy and creative.

Thomas Hitchins

What is your teaching background and where have you come from? I am originally from Grafton NSW (Go the Blues!!). I had spent the past five years living, working and studying on the Gold Coast. What do you think the biggest challenge teaching in a remote school could be? Getting to know and understand the rich culture of the area will be both my biggest challenge, yet greatest reward. I look forward to this because gaining a knowledge and appreciation of the local culture will allow me to bring real world and relevant meaning to the classroom curriculum.

AFL wrap-up with The Roar, Geoff Lemon

Open season with Ă€YH URXQGV WR JR With ďŹ ve rounds to go, the top four remains up for grabs. The rest of the top eight remains up for grabs. The wooden spoon is up for grabs. It’s open season. First I have to express my admiration for Hawthorn. It’s not just that they had the biggest win of the weekend, downing ladder-leaders Sydney by 10 points in a brutal beauty of a match. Their star attraction defected to their most dangerous opponent. They’ve lost key players to injury at regular intervals. They’ve played an undersized defence for most of the year. They’ve had a hard draw, they lost their coach for several weeks to a disease that sounded like a Melrose Place subplot, and they had the distracting aftermath of a player going full ‘Nam ashback and trying to choke an opponent. And yet they’ve won 13 from 17 starts, and if they’d kicked three more goals this season their percentage would have them in top spot. Adelaide’s win over Collingwood won’t shape a premiership tilt, but was nearly as big. After lurking on the frustrating fringe for months, Adelaide ďŹ nally shot into the top eight for the ďŹ rst time this year, directly at the Magpies’ expense. With their lamentable start to the year well behind them, Adelaide are in the best form of the lower-ranked ďŹ nals contenders. Sides above them have abdicated or are wavering. Winning at the MCG is always a big ask for interstate teams, especially with a hostile black-andwhite crowd against you, but the Crows did it with aplomb. They won with direct, hard-edged football that isolated their key forwards. The Brisbane Lions’ win was also signiďŹ cant, partly for just being a Brisbane Lions win and partly its style. With Brisbane shooting for ďŹ ve wins in the season and Gold Coast shooting for ďŹ nals, there was no doubt who was tipped. Yet the Lions destroyed the Suns in one of the most lopsided starts to a game of football you’ll ever see. As they streamed forward and rained goals at will, the margin was 41 points by quarter time, and out to 56 in the second before the Suns pegged the odd one back. It’s worth revisiting a quarter-time disposal count that read 125-35, and the fact that Gold Coast took one mark in that quarter of football. The style more than the result made this the biggest loss of the round. We wondered about their future without Ablett, but right now it looks non-existent. You couldn’t ask for an easier road trip than driving 45 minutes to play a side that has spent the season mired at the foot of the ladder. Yet with a ďŹ nals spot beckoning the Suns bombed to 10th. High hopes l The weekend’s loss is unlikely to hurt the Swans though. For the moment it brings them back to the pack: 52 points to each of the top three. But I’d still tip Sydney to comfortably ďŹ nish top. Their next fortnight is the tricky bit: you’d normally pencil them in for a home win against a marginal ďŹ nals side like Essendon, but the Swans will be coming off a six-day break and the Dons from 12. Then there’s a trip to Port at the Adelaide Oval, and even though the teal brigade have slipped in recent weeks, they’re still ďŹ fth on the ladder with a very good side. Presuming Sydney can negotiate these obstacles, their ďŹ nal three games should be a tune-up cruise while the other top sides beat several shades of hell out of each other. Falter, and the shufe will continue. The Roar

NRL wrap-up with Karl

On the day any team can win This Round kicked off with upsets to some top of the ladder favourites; this proves that on any given day any team can win! On Friday the Knights got a narrow win over the Roosters, and the Storm disgraced the Broncos in a dominant performance. Super Saturday seen the Sharks scrape home against the Panthers to get the two points, the Eel’s with an entertaining performance to beat the Titans, and the Cowboys getting a much needed win against the Bulldogs on the road to keep their finals chances alive. On Sunday the Sea eagles pipped the Warriors to secure their spot at the top of the ladder, and the Dragons had a good win over the Tigers. On Monday night the Rabbitohs proved too strong for the Raiders with a comfortable win. As a preview into Round 21, teams still narrowly outside of the top eight are looking for wins to keep their finals hopes alive. On Friday night the “top of the ladder� Sea Eagles will take on the eighth placed Broncos, followed by the Bulldogs and Panthers match who currently sit third and fourth respectively. Super Saturday will see the Sharks take on the Eel’s, the all Queensland derby between the Cowboys and the Titans, followed by the Roosters and Dragons battle. On Sunday there will be two matches played, firstly the Raiders will take on the Warriors, followed by the Rabbitohs and the Knights clash. Monday night’s game will bring the Round to a close with the West Tigers taking on the Storm. Karl’s Tips: Sea Eagles, Bulldogs, Eel’s, Cowboys, Dragons, Warriors, Rabbitohs, Storm. Yours in Footy Karl

Qld dirt kart racing titles

By Rev. Michael Connolly

Disciples’ attitude one of happiness Tribal Bible 29 July-4 Aug ‘14 WE were looking at Acts Ch 5 vs 35-42 where we read that the attitude of the disciples was one of happiness when they were whipped for the sake of Jesus. Note verse 42 where it says that “and every day in the Temple and in people’s homes they continued to teach and preach the Good News about Jesus the Messiah.” Many Christians today feel the need to meet outside the Church (the building) and find that beside the parish-run Bible studies and other activities, they would gather at the homes of people who offered theirs up for fellowship and study. This may be happening in your area. Now on to Acts Ch 6 vs 1-7 where we read of an argument between Greek speaking Jewish Christians called Hellenists and the native Aramaic speaking Jewish Christians of the Church. The Aramaic speaking Jews always remained in the Palestine area, but the Greek speaking Jews were those who came back home to Jerusalem from every place from where they were scattered during the event known as the Diaspora. These Jewish Christian groups came into the Church from a social background of deep dislike for each other, and it seemed that one group, the Hellenists, felt that their widows were being neglected with regards to sharing of the Church funds. The twelve disciples handled this matter quickly and in a manner that made everyone happy, not least because the spreading of the gospel was in danger of slowing down. Love you all.

THIS week saw some great fishing at times mixed with ordinary tides and fairly basic weather. North of Cullen Point winds reached 25-30 knots and wave heights were over 2 metres late in the arvo, not as bad around Weipa but Sunday last it was pretty hairy at times. Mostly the prevailing wind are coming from the S-SE so inshore saw calmer seas. One local bloke not too worried about the sea was Gary Hilton in his new NRL coloured boat, it used to be Maroon, but one win by the Blues and he goes all out. It was a top few days as the pictorial shows, his son Josh was home for the holidays, with lazy Northern Blue Fin Tuna, Golden Trevally, and Queen Fish falling prey to high speed metal slices. They must have been plenty of ďŹ sh about as Gazza usually carries 3-4 shirts with him so he can change and get pics’ of the same ďŹ sh to make it look good. Only joking Gaz. The Northern Blue Fin have been making a nuisance of themselves if you were trying to get a feed of Spanish Mackerel, I suppose it could have been worse with nothing in the ice chest. By all the reports I got the Tuna and Mackerel were stretched from Vrilya Point to the mouth of the

Archer. Plenty of Sharks shadowing the schools and proved a head ache to most anglers with as few as 1 in 10 ďŹ sh making it to the boat. Most of the estuary ďŹ shing was put off by the temperature of the water, around 24 degrees, and slow moving tides. Those that did manage to hook up on a few had to work hard just to get bait but if you didn’t have livies the task was even harder. The spawning Bream kept the packet bait anglers busy but legal size was still hard to ďŹ nd. The Jew hole, out from Gonbung beach, was holding up to 90cm Black Jew and the bottom of the night tide with slabs Blue Salmon the preferred bait. With the dark moon over the next few days should see good schools of Squid moving about the swing basin. Mainly Big Fin and Broad Squid but have noticed the odd Arrow Squid. If you oat a light around one of the channel markers, Evans Landing, and the Cora (seagrass) Bank, straight out from Evans Landing towards Grandma creek, well worth scouting. Through sales at TW we have found Squid Jigs 2-3.5 inch and Blue or Green the best sizes and colours. Using drawstring cast nets can be more productive but nowhere near as much fun. Most anglers will agree that local Squid is

How to be Crocodile Wise • Be aware of crocodiles – keep your eyes open, you might not be able to see them, but they are there. • Do not feed or otherwise interfere with crocodiles, small or large. • Avoid areas where large crocodiles or their nests have been seen • Camp at least 50 metres from the waters edge • Stand at least a few metres back from the waters edge when fishing and don’t stand on logs overhanging deep pools. • Do not clean fish, prepare food or engage in other activities on the waters edge and adjacent banks. • Dispose of food scraps (including fish) away from areas where people gather. • Keep arms and legs inside boat hulls.
