Three British backpackers had to be rescued when they woke up in their camper van to find they were surrounded by croc infested floodwater. The unhappy campers called emergency crews around 6am (local time) today (TUES) when they became flooded at Green Patch, a camping ground south of Cairns, Queensland, Australia.

Nearby signs indicated that the area was a crocodile warning area and locals said there were resident reptiles in the murky water.
