Two photographs of the trio have been sent to the NT News.

They were snapped fishing at Magela Creek crossing in Kakadu National Park which has been flooded by recent rains.

One of the people who sent in the photos said there had been a 4.5m crocodile living in the area.

“The water is over 2m deep in places,” they said.

The trio entered the water, ignoring official advice to not enter the water.

The Parks Australia website states: “Oenpelli Road (road to Ubirr) closed at Magela Creek crossing.”

“Estuarine (saltwater) crocodiles are present in this area, adhere to all signage and do not enter the water,” the website says.

The crossing is not far from the famous Cahills Crossing which has been home to some of the dumbest acts in the history of mankind.
