One sided Riverbank 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
We used to have a man work for use, he was of aboriginal decent, from a well occupied aboriginal part of australia called Arhnem Land.
He told me of a story that happened to his mother a couple years back involving two backpackers.
There were these two backpackers right, who had set up camp on the river bank. She had caught them just as they were approaching the river for a midday swim.
Shocked, the old aboriginal lady said to them, 'excuse me, but there are crocodiles in this river, (pointing to the sign on the opposite bank)' and the backpackers turned to her and said, yes but the sign is on that side of the river!
the old lady was that dumbfounded she just turned and walked away.
its not really a darwin story but it is a true story, i just thought it was such a good story that i thought you would enjoy it. I dont mind if you word it differently, im not typing it from a professional newpaper article, just off personal accounts. However i do know that it is a true story.
Cheers,
