How dumb can these two guys be?

Swimming in an obvious croc river?

Also whoever gave them permission.

Sure sh*t can happen. Sometimes you have to wade across a river. Wade through the paperbacks in shallow water. walk through high reeds in wetlands.

First trip, on the Victoria River, waded out several times to unsnag a lure. Decided it wasn't worth it. We thought we were out of saltie range. Upriver of the Buchanan Hwy ford. I decided it was unwise. Buffalo hunting walked to knee to thigh high water. Had a rifle. Without a rifle, helped carry out stuff for another hunter. Walked in shallow Paperbark water. In waist high grass. Not wise. A handgun would be useful. Camped near rivers 30 m out in swags. Some of this I think now wasn't smart. Stood guard for Matt G once while he washed out a buff or banteng cape in the sea on the Cobourg Peninsula's lovely seas.

Some stuff has to be done.

As for Comcare they say it wasn't "operational", presumably higher risk standard. Compare shouldn't be in charge of army imo.

Lots of tourists swim in these rivers and pools, which I wouldn't.
