On our way to the airport, for our flight back to Melbourne, we stopped at Hartley's Creek Crocodile Farm. There we were able to go on a boat ride in the lagoon and spotted a 95 year old crocodile named Ted who is the dominant male even though he no longer has any teeth. As we went around the lagoon the tour guide fed chicken heads to several of the crocodiles. It was amazing to see the crocodiles up close. It seems to have had a particularly strong impact on Jared. Since that time, Jared has given thanks for crocodiles and chicken heads in his prayer each night before he goes to bed.
It was little strange to go to the crocodile farm after seeing them in the wild. Especially when you walk through the gift shop and they are selling crocodile handbags, wallets and boots.

Crocodiles were swimming all over the place and came right up next to the boat.
Feeding time - yummy chicken heads.
The kids posing next to another large animal monument. Gotta love Australia.

Fitting that there is a HUGE croc named Ted..
That is cool, but kind of creepy. I would be freaking out to have the kids in the boat. Adam would probably just laugh at me! I sure miss and love you guys!
Once again, awesome pictures by Jenny. You have to see crocodiles in Australia.
