"Scientist have come up with two plausilble theories as to why Crocs are now venturing further south after the recent sightings at Coral Bay. One marine science polartition claims it's because daylight savings has finished in W.A. this has resulted in a greater time difference now between NT and WA. The crocs are taking advantage of this and by coming down into W.A. they are able to lie in the shadows created by the earlier setting sun. This makes them more difficult to see and allows them to stalk their unsuspecting prey. The Other, a Oceanegraphic economist claims the Global Recession is probably more likely to be the cause. In the recent years of economic boom the cost of travel was never a concern. Now with retirees investment funds halved and fuel prices still so high, the Grey Nomad set can no longer afford to travel the vast distances into the great Ausie North. As a result, the availabilty of the crocs natural food source, (the pet Chuaua) has diminished greatly resulting in the Croc having to come further South in search of this reptilian delicasy"
