Woman Imprisoned In Home By Lurking Crocs In The Wilds Of Gungulung

Anna Wallace has not left her home since Sunday. That's because, not only is it surrounded by stagnant water, leftover from the September rains, but there are crocodiles living in it. This past weekend, she and her daughter, who lives in the house in front of her, noticed a baby croc basking on the cement block directly in front of her door. Now Wallace is asking for help because she's too scared to leave her home. Anna Wallace, Resident "I'm afraid that's why I don't come out and then the water makes my two knees hurt. And then I would just want you to give me a helping hand to move the water or move the crocodile or something because I'm scared." Courtney Menzies: "How close have you seen the crocodile?" Anna Wallace, Resident "Right at my door. Right in front of my door I see it and I'm afraid." Courtney Menzies: "How long has the water been here?" Anna Wallace, Resident "The water is there from September." Courtney Menzies: "From all of that raining." Anna Wallace, Resident "Yes, it came into my house and it rolled out back and it comes in and rolls out. Right now it's flush under the house so another rain comes and it will get in again." Wallace says that one of the issues is that there is no drainage in her neighborhood, so all the yards around hers are also facing the same problem. However, it has also begun to affect her health. Anna Wallace, Resident "We don't have any drains, you could see we have no drains. Maybe if we had a drain, maybe the water wouldn't have stayed there but we don't have any drains. Then you see the neighbors, this neighbor, then behind me, all of them have water and the water is going, everything stays at one spot so most naturally the crocodiles will come in. It has to come in because water is there so it has to come in so when I saw it at my door, I almost fainted because I have pressure, my pressure went sky high, all the way to 300 because first time I'm seeing that so close." "It affects me bad because I can't come out to do anything. Then if I come out it's in this same water I have to come out, go in, come out, go in, my two knees are hurting me. So because I walk in and walk out, it hurts my two knees, then it hurts my throat. So I just needs help." Wallace told us that she tried to reach the area rep via phone and sent him a picture of her yard, but hasn't gotten any response. We reached out to the area rep, Cordel Hyde, who explained that he had missed her message earlier this week, and he will reach out to her urgently to try and alleviate the situation.
