Notes
Date:1943,
The car belonged to the Colonel. He had a driver and came out to our swimming lagoon once only. The lagoon had a large rock in the centre, high banks on the otherside from where we set up the picnic lunch. From that area we could walk down to the right, a small creek trickled into the lagoon, this is where the tiny baby crocodiles were born. We didn't know that crocs were in the lagoon until I found these babies. These small crocs known as Johnson River crocodiles lived in the river behind our quarters. Alva's story.,
