Listen Later

Seeking a restart to their vacation after tragedy strikes, the Von Jordan sisters join up on a backpacking expedition with several other tourists into Australia's Kakadu National Park. 9 tourists will start this trip, but only 8 will return home. In this story the A Team reveals how gross negligence would lead to a day in Australian infamy in the fall of 2002. We also talk about all things croc! Ambria will give some tips to help others hopefully avoid a fatal encounter and explain the biology of these amazing animals.
