Lonely Planet review

When a croc is taken out of one of the Territory's waterways, this is usually where it ends up. But don't imagine they're here out of human charity - this is a farm, not a rest home, and around 2000 of the beasts are killed each year for their skins and meat. Get here in the early afternoon for feeding time, if you can.

The Darwin Crocodile Farm, 40km (25mi) south of the city, has around 8000 estuarine (saltwater) and freshwater crocodiles. If you don't have your own car, there are plenty of day tours to the farm running from Darwin. You can find croc steaks and burgers on menus all over Darwin.
