G'day,
I've had a frog appear in a toilet bowl, and upstairs as well. No crocodiles though.

The town of Katherine in the Northern Territory has been flooded this week following a tropical cyclone. There was a police report of a crocodile swimming down the main street. I doubt that it would have been a man-eating saltwater croc, probably a harmless (but don't put your hand in its mouth) freshwater croc - it's too far from the coast. Having been in Katherine a few months ago in the dry season and having seen how far the water must rise to flood the town I can only say that the volume of water involved is beyond comprehension.

Cheers,
Alan
