And, unfortunately, Crocodile Dundee wasn’t there to save the day.
A group of crocodiles isn’t the first thing you think you’d see on a casual Sunday drive.
This is exactly what Kristi Moseley and her son, Eli, were faced with when they approached Cahill’s Crossing in the Northern Territory’s Kakadu National Park on Sunday.
Filming the needs-to-be-seen-to-be-believed encounter, Moseley managed to count 21 crocs in total.

“There were lots of 3-4m crocs, at least one was much bigger and other 2-3m ones cruising around,” Moseley told NT News.
Multiple witnesses also told NT News that numerous four-wheel drives drive through the flooded crossing when the tide was low, but became concerned when a sedan attempted to push through the water.
Thankfully, the driver made it to the other side.

And while we may think this is a rare incident, Cahills Crossing is infamous for flooding, as well as its lingering crocodiles when the water rises.
Despite this, some people (call them daring, call them perilous) have taken it upon themselves to cross the croc-infested water – not just driving their car through, but swimming across.
Just last December, bystanders watched, horrified, as a man crossed the river in a bid to save one of his car’s L-plates.
Fortunately, after police coaxing him out of the water, the man survived.
