Sunday 24 July | 7:00pm – 10:00pm | Crocosaurus Cove, Darwin City

Join the Unusual Pet and Avian Veterinarians (UPAV) group for dinner before the first session even begins.

Crocosaurus Cove, Darwin’s most unique and iconic event venue, is conveniently located in the heart of Darwin City. You'll get a true taste of Darwin by spending the evening surrounded by the iconic saltwater crocodiles and an array of native Top End reptiles.

With fine food and company, this will be a highlight of the conference social calendar!

Cage of Death - for those of you brave enough you can also experience the ultimate face-to-face encounter as you are carefully lowered in to the water with a 5m saltwater crocodile for 15 minutes. Cage of Death experiences are to be booked and paid for directly with Crocosaurus Cove. Check out their website for availability and online booking: https://www.crocosauruscove.com/cage-of-death/
