'Right in crocodile country': two people spend night on roof of car in NT flood waters

Darwin residents trapped after their vehicle broke down while trying to cross a swollen river

Two Darwin residents were forced to spend nine hours on the roof of their car surrounded by crocodile-infested flood waters after their vehicle became stranded.

Rescuers spent all of Saturday night attempting to rescue the pair after their LandCruiser became trapped when it tried to cross the Dingo Station river crossing west of the Northern Territory's capital.
