Fishermen were "absolutely gobsmacked" when they saw a young woman in a pink bikini swimming in a river with one of the highest concentration of crocodiles in the Northern Territory.
Mick Albano was fishing in his boat at one of the barrages at Shady Camp on Sunday when he saw the woman in the water.
Mr Albano says the woman had been drinking with two men.
"The guys said she'd been in there a little while just trying to cool off," he said.
"And then they said that was nothing, half an hour earlier she'd done the big swim across the river to the mud bank.
"And I just couldn't believe it.
"Everybody that was there and saw her was absolutely gobsmacked."
This week the environment department issued a warning to people tampering with crocodile traps after several photos were published showing people standing on them, sometimes with crocodiles inside.
The Northern Territory Amateur Fishermen's Association says people acting stupidly around crocodiles unnecessarily inflames debate about how to manage them.
The association's Chris Makepeace says if the woman at Shady Camp had been killed there would have been calls for crocodiles in the area to be culled.
"The real problem with all of this of course is had something happened, and I think it's just sheer luck that it didn't, then we'd be having discussions today about what we're going to do about crocodile management, what we're going to do about culling crocodiles, putting restrictions on people who go there and do the right thing," he said.
"And that's the problem when you get idiots doing things like this."
