| July 20, 2010 | Oz man stuck with crocodiles for 3 days rescued | | Melbourne: An Australian man was rescued after spending three nights stuck in a crocodile-infested river near Weipa in far north Queensland. He used a flare to alert rescuers to his broken-down boat. Trevor Snodgrass, local SES area controller, said that the man was on a camping trip with her partner when their tinnie got
beached on a riverbank at the mouth of Pine River Bay , northwest of Weipa late
on Friday. He said the man, whose first name is Peter, couldn't get the engine
to work after digging the boat free. Snodgrass said Peter's partner hailed down
a passing vessel where she alerted authorities while her partner watched the boat
over night. "She walked about 1km to wave down another boat which couldn't reach
their beached tinnie," News.com.au quoted Snodgrass said. Estuarine crocodile
was caught at Pormpuraaw halfway between Karumba and Weipa last night. | |
