It looks that way - I have no idea on the status of those or who owns them. Given how low the water level is in the photo they must have been there for a little while at least....and trucks just left abandoned in the river?....

It would be nice to at least see them winched out of the water. If they are taking the risk to fish with the crocs they could also take the risk to attache a winch line. It is quite a remote place so no one is ever going to recover them properly....and easily recoverable with the water so low...
They're pretty much the only survivors of the dinosaur era, so they aint done too bad. I'm no expert on crocs but my understanding is if you go to the water 2 days in a row to fill your containers, the croc will remember and be waiting for youI've done a few river crossings in Queensland - the biggest surprise for me has been the speed that water rises in the event of rain - a dry crossing can become a raging torrent in a matter of a couple of hours, totally impassable. We nearly screwed up and lost a rental van because of this. Crocodiles aren't at all smart, but they are excellent predators and will follow their instincts. Freshies aren't generally an issue, but Salties (estuarine crocs) are bad ass bastards and need a wide birth. I love Australia
