Northern Territory Fisherman Survives Crocodile Attack

A professional fisherman has been attacked by a crocodile while fishing in the Northern Territory.
The 45-year-old man was in the water when he was attacked off the Cobourg Peninsula in Arnhem Land, near Black Point, about 200 kilometres north east of Darwin.

The crocodile is believed to be two to three metres long. [ABC News]
