And a second croc to the north of Cable Beach, Broome, WA, reported to us by people walking along the beach. Thank you for your vigilance, and also to the callers from the Cable Beach House this morning. Hope you didn't choke on the breakfast spotting the second big fella. All before the patrol had even started.
