No, please feel free to visit!
(Humourous Response) The crocs need a feed, and they prefer impiorted
meat.
(Serious Response) It's just that if you go to the Northern Territory,
and you get warned about Crocs on a patch of river, don't camp nearby,
and don't go swimming. And if a beach is closed due to jellyfish, obey
the signs, don't swim.
Most of the country is quite safe. Really. Trust me.
