This is so sad and scary (as we have a 2 year old!). The outdoor movies always look to appealing, I'm not sure if I'd do it now.
I think that action will have to be seen to be done.I agree. It'll be interesting to see if they take any action or put it down to a freak accident.
haha... Ikr? anyway... I think its because we have the responsibility of safety firmly in our own court here as a general rule, whereas, in the US, safety is expected to be provided. Even living a LONG way from croc country, we always had that kind of info drummed into us... everybody knew that being within a certain distance from water upwards of certain latitudes was asking to be croc lunch. Even being on the waters edge was and is very dangerous in croc country. But interestingly, despite a boom in gator populations, fatalities are down on past decades. I wonder are they just not quite as aggressive as our crocs? The thing that has genuinely shocked me is the literally hundreds of comments I've read today that state that they had zero cognizance of a gator possibly being in any of the Disney waterways... this boggles my mind. How could there not be? it was once swampland ( well, from what I've read).It's a little odd to see Australians talking about the dangerous wildlife in another country...when they live in Australia!

Now the flesh eating amoeba was a new one for me!!! def taking note of that.Not to mention the flesh eating bacteria that's in the water there.
The one that got me is people saying that the no swimming sign didn't apply because they were just standing in the water.
