Kubirri wawubaja [Mossman R Foxton] .
Tropical whirligig : *Macrogyrus* sp.,
spotted while cooling off swimming .
Do not swim there any more nowadays since the 2023 Dec. 13–18th cyclone and major flooding, as large crocodiles have consistently resided there ever since
– beware :
We have plenty of evidences, including photographs, including my photographs from Christmas day 2023 Dec 25th .
