bilby commented on the word croc
"Dr Britton said a widespread media campaign was needed to teach people about crocs and croc safety. 'There was a very successful campaign in the early 1980s called Living with Crocodiles,' he said.
'But now, nearly 30 years later, the landscape has changed quite a bit and there are many more crocodiles. And we now have the problem of crocs moving into areas where they are normally not found. We can't put signposts up everywhere. People need to understand the benefits that crocodiles bring for tourism and industry, while also understanding the simple precautions they can take in the bush so they remain safe. It's not difficult, it just requires a little education.'"
