A CREW member, Tara Hawkes, onboard
North Star Cruises’ True North has been
released from hospital after being attacked by
a crocodile whilst swimming at a remote
freshwater pool in the Kimberley region.
According to reports, crew members only
entered the pool after a check revealed that
there were no crocs, however the woman was
attacked as she stepped out of the pool.
Hawkes was able to escape the croc’s
clutches and according to a True North
spokesperson, her injuries were not serious
and only required stitches.
Despite the lucky escape the WA Department
of Environment and Conservation has advised
tour operators to stay away from the pool, as it
still believes the (salt water) croc is lurking
under its depths.
