DRAGONS , CROCODILES , COBRAS

During commentary on  races in the World Dragon Boat Championships  in  Italy it  was stated that the  team  from  Darwin  tried not to overturn  their  boat while  training  back home because  of all  the crocodiles  in  the water. Later there was mention of  alligators  in  the  water . Of course, in  the  early days of settlement  in the Territory , the saurians were  called  alligators . An American team went under the name Cobras . In a second day of  racing , the Darwin Waterfront Warriors   came  fifth in an event won by Russia with Queensland  teams  second   and  third .
