General Comments
Koorana focuses on public education on crocs so the tours are full of information for those travelling north deeper into croc country. Discussions on crocodile behaviour and people behaviour in crocodile country highlight the need to know about natures oldest children. Crocodiles as large as 850 kg and as small as 100 grams can be seen on the tour.
