It's pretty special living in a wilderness area where you can see animals living in their natural habitat. There has been a small crocodile living in the estuary of Mason Creek for at least 4 years, and all the locals have kept an eye on it over the years. Then a tourist decides to torment it.

I have been rung by the Sydney Morning Herald and the Sunday Mail about the croc attack. I said the croc was being tormented in its own habitat, that this is a wilderness area where seeing/ living with animals in the wild is part of being here, and that it should not be taken away to a croc farm.

Yesterday while National Parks rangers were in the creek area which they closed off to everyone else - a large gunshot was heard coming from the area. They are denying that they have shot it - but nobody else had a gun and was shooting at that time. I guess the truth will come out eventually.
