Ok, there may be a few reasons…

I built a backpackers on the east coast. I was approached by an advertising agent selling advertising space in a backpackers mag .
This mag also had sharks, snakes and spiders on the map in the mag. I told agent no thank you, not until they take all monsters off there map. I suggested Dolphins. waterfalls and mountain views. I didn't want to scare the travelers away.

I reckon they never got close enough to spot them, just calling them an octopus for now!

Unfortunately, they are there.
Stopped in Alice Springs for 4 days last August.
A lot of the indigenous people live near watering holes.
While I was there, and this is only heresay, a 12yo indigenous girl was snuck upon by a croc and dragged in, not to be seen of again. The risk to life is taken for granted up there.
Never hear about these sorts of things happening in city news.

Croc in a waterhole, unlikely as it would have been on the menu long before it could grab a 12 yr old....

This reminds me of when we first arrived in Oz at the Migrant Hostel in East Hills. After the first few days I was thinking here we have a thousand more ways to die!

Dingoes are beautiful pets!

I have owned several over the years. I would trust my dingoes with my children, regardless of age, more than 99.9999% of the human population.
