Quotes from Sheree Jeldosev from @shot.by.sheree wildlife and travel photographer:
“I was lucky enough to road trip around the entire NT this year and the wildlife was incredible. We enjoyed stopping to photograph all the lizards and birds along the highway.
“Kakadu was definitely a highlight. We loved it so much that when we were halfway to Darwin, we turned the van around and spent another week enjoying it all again.
“I filmed this video when we were watching the crocodiles attempt to catch fish at Cahills crossing… I kept getting distracted by the antics of these ones, floating around. I hope that people seeing the video will change some perspectives of what we perceive crocodiles to be. It certainly made them endearing to me.”
