Darwin Crocodile Farm

The Darwin Crocodile Farm, situated off the Stuart Highway about 40km south of Darwin, runs a captive breeding program of saltwater crocodiles (crocodylus porosus) to produce high quality meat and skins. A further aim of the farm, run under the Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife Commission's Crocodile Management Program, is to raise funds to help protect the wild population of crocodiles in a sustainable manner.

Crocodiles, like sharks, have fascinated and terrorised Australians for a long time. Considered a dangerous pest, they were hunted to within a few hundred individuals in the wild until they were protected in the 1970s. So successful has their resurrection been since then that they are no longer considered endangered.
