Three women have been slammed online after having a mini photo shoot at a dangerous river location.
Zoo worker Branden Darlison-Hoskin was visiting the site when he spotted the women standing perilously close to the water – which is home to roughly 10,000 crocodiles.
The incident took place on Saturday 28 September.

The trio had parked their car in the middle of the crossing to take the photos.
Stumped by the group’s “stupidity”, Branden – who is from Mildenhall, England – took a video of their actions.
The 27-year-old then posted the clip to social media, where it has gathered over 198,000 views so far.
“I am a crocodile enthusiast who wants to help raise awareness in human and crocodile conflict,” Branden, who lives in Darwin, Australia, told What’s The Jam.
“It is just sheer stupidity.

“And I’ve seen similar on a further three separate occasions where people are walking or fishing standing on the crossing.
“I should say [this is] an accident waiting to happen but really nature will soon just take its course, and once again the crocs will suffer.
“No crocodiles surfaced in the video but they were constantly swimming up and down.”

The photo shoot was at Cahill’s Crossing in Kakadu, one of Australia’s most dangerous bodies of water.
In the clip, one of the women can be seen posing on the bumper of their SUV, while another takes photos.
Another woman then emerges from the car and swaps place with the person on the SUV for some more snaps.
Branden captioned the post: “Just coz ya can’t see a crocodile, it doesn’t mean there isn’t one there. These sheila’s are idiots.”
The video has gained over 3,800 likes and 190 comments from users so far.
One person said “Isn’t that the infamous croc infested crossing.”
Someone else wrote: “Natural selection comes to mind.”
Scott commented: “Are these people crazy…fortunately for them they weren’t the main meal for the day.”
Hannah added: “Oh my GOD!!!! Every time you post one of these I’m like how are they doing dumber things every single time.”
Daniel said: “Bloody shocking that people are still doing it.”
Ross wrote: “Madness.”
This isn’t the first time tourists have been slammed for their behaviour at Cahill’s Crossing.
Just last week, What’s The Jam reported how two men had to be rescued by a truck driver after falling into the waters.
Last month, a family were also spotted fishing metres away from at least 10 crocodiles.
