Australian Animal Attacks
A group of three Brisbane families were on their annual 4WD camping holiday to
far north Queensland where every year for the past five years they had camped at
Bathurst Bay, about 250 km. north of Cooktown.

Diane and Andrew Kerr and their three-month-old baby were sleeping in their tent
on the beach when they were woken up by a noise. Diane looked through the netting1 of
the tent and said: there's a croc! As Andrew rose the 4.2 metre crocodile lunged2 forward,
grabbed3 him by the legs and started dragging4 him away. His concern was still with the
baby that slept in the tent with them and while he was in the crocodile's jaws he kept
yelling “GET THE BABY! GET THE BABY!” His wife grabbed the bed with the baby in one
hand and held on to her husband's hand with the other but the 300 kg crocodile continued
to drag him outside the tent. Sixty-year-old grandmother Alicia Sorohan and her husband
Bill were camping nearby and when they heard the screams they rushed over to find their
friend Andrew being dragged towards the sea. The supergranny jumped on the crocodile's
head, causing him to let go of Andrew but now the crocodile turned on her, grabbing her
by the arm. Fortunately, Alicia's son Jason arrived with a gun and shot the crocodile
through the head. They then set off a rescue beacon5 that alerted Queensland Parks and
Wildlife Service rangers who sent a helicopter to evacuate them to an airport from where
the Royal Flying Doctors could fly them to Cairns hospital.
Andrew had injuries to his legs and body and was believed to be in a serious
condition, while Alicia had injuries to her arm and upper body and face. The male
crocodile was estimated to be about fifty years old. Supergranny Alicia was later awarded
a bravery medal at a ceremony in Cairns.
