00:07There may not be a thoroughbred in sight, but these young salties have been preparing for their big moment on the territory's own track.
00:15A really long tail gives them that extra bit of motivation, bit of flick, those strong back legs and as long as they look nice, fit and healthy.
00:23The event draws punters from near and far in the hopes of picking a winner in Australia's most unique race.
00:30I've never seen a crocodile race, so it will be quite interesting, better than horses.
00:35We've seen the crocodile races because we haven't been here before, we just arrived in Darwin yesterday from New South Wales.
00:41Australia is huge, everything has to be a big deal and I love it, I simply love this place and I love crocodiles.
00:49This year the croc races are stepping things up a notch with a new addition, camels.
