River that is home to 500 crocodiles chosen to host 2032 Olympic rowing and canoe events
- A river that is home to about 500 saltwater crocodiles has been given the OK to host Olympic and Paralympic rowing and canoeing events at the 2032 Brisbane Games.
- The course on the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton, Queensland, has passed an independent technical assessment into its suitability.
- The assessment did not consider the crocodiles but instead looked at "how the course would perform under a range of conditions, weather patterns, water levels and flood risk at both Games time and throughout the period leading into the Games".
