Description
This is Jen, my partner in crime in my last job. We went out to check our traps one morning in the wet season and 2 hours later the road back had disappeared under 1.5 metres of water and it was rising. So we had to make the quick decision to abandon our vehicle and wade across before it got too deep. WE had to cross about 400 metres like that and the water came from the nearby croc infested Victoria river. All was good till half way across the people on the other side dived into their car and came out with a rifle, oh crap, a croc !!. And moments after this pic a big fat spider ran up Jens neck and onto her head. That sped the crossing up a little hehe. And yes, there is also a pic of me in the middle. Stopping to take the pics was Jens idea ok !! :).

You guys are nuts Martin... What you describe here is nothing short of madness... however, the way you wrote it is very funny. I had a good giggle!!! Spiders and crocodiles and rising water... yikes!!! Great image and story!!! :)
Fantastic story and super photo.
Well, looks like she enjoy the fun crossing. Great holiday capture.
Great shot and narration. Well done, Jen had a good idea of the photo.
oh my ! not sure I would be smiling through all that. Great story!
Oh wow! What an adventure! Great shot!!
Wow, something like that could put a bit of a kink in your plans....glad you made it out OK and got some good photographic evidence besides!
lol Glad you made it!
Astonishing things you get up to! It's a stunning shot, all the more so when one knows the circumstances!
Sometimes you got to pick your poison because you have no other option. Great shot. I love the story and the adventure is just up my alley.
Interesting photo and comments. ;-) Now how did she get both feet over her shoulder lol. A great real life share. thanx ;)
WOW Jen is brave!!! OMG~~! look at that big smile on her face there what an adventure loved seeing this !! what a story !!!
This is a great picture. I'm glad that you got through okay.
Well pardon me for thinking it was fun because Jen's face tells me so! Sounds like enough cause for one's mind to border on the dubious. Excellent action photo.
Like your comments to the image, they are in so humorous manner:) Oh, and when I read how a big spider ran up Jens neck and onto her head... brrrrrrrr...:) Hate spiders!
Great story and mood in this capture,looks like she's having lots of fun,Beautiful!!:-)
I could of sworn I left a comment on this... I saw this when you did it and the title just "Eats me" - lol... I gotta thank you because you were leaving a comment on efron_241's gallery today and I notice you didn't finish your comment before you hit submit... It got me thinking... You are only allowed one comment - but - you can also delete... so, I thought, why not copy your comment, delete and repost... it works, so it is possible to leave more than one comment on an upload - Never really thought about it until I saw your comment was not complete - cool... I hope everyone made it out of the water here, I seen the 7 faces of death movie where a man gets eat'n by a crock (real footage)... it's just scarey to even think about it.
terrible!!!!
Terrifying moments... well, it's great when you go through such a situation and against all odds, you still don't forget to immortalize it with your camera!
Yeah those rivers can do that. Its not the croc ya can see thats the prob, its the one ya cant see lol Great photo...
Wonderful shot! Great!
