Amazing footage has emerged from northern Australia of a crocodile crossing a ford bridge in front of a car full of tourists.

The video, filmed at Kakadu National Park last week, shows the large reptile slowly moving in front of the car, while tourists watch from the bridge, which vehicles can only get across at low tide.

The filmer warned against tourists getting out of cars and standing near the water, as the video also shows a woman standing right near the edge taking photographs.

People are killed by crocodiles every year in Australia and 2014 was a record year for the number of deaths by crocodile attacks in the country's northern territories.
