Stranded fishermen circled by croc in Kakadu river
Two fishermen thought they would die before being rescued after spending two days stranded up trees in a remote Kakadu river during which time a crocodile circled them.
The Darwin men, aged in their 20s and both boilermakers, were in the middle of a fishing trip on Monday in the South Alligator River when their boat accidentally took on water and began to sink.
They climbed up trees to escape the salty, crocodile-infested water.
They spent the next 48 hours in the trees with no food, water and other supplies including an emergency beacon that had floated away.
