David McMahon Irish: The Struggle of Managing Your Daily Commute to Work
David shared that the disparity in the name and creature occurred because English explorer Phillip Parker King couldn't tell alligators and crocodiles apart.
'This is truly such a wild place,' David said, gazing out
onto the deadly reptiles.
He told FEMAIL: 'There has been many times over the years
when I've crossed this river with my heart in my mouth!
'The worst is at night time, and there was one occasion I
had to cross it really deep when the tide had stopped and before it started
rushing out again.
'As soon as I entered the water, the headlights went under
and I had to do the crossing blind - knowing exactly what was waiting for me if
I made a mistake.'
But despite the frequent dose of terror, David truly loves his
job.
'I love being able to share the beauty of Northern Australia
with guests from around the world,' he said.
'It's such a wild place up here and there are fewer and
fewer places on the planet like this.
'To spend so much time in the bush is a privilege I never
take for granted and I honestly can't pick a part of the job I don't love,' he
added.
