Being salt-water adapted, they are starting to head out to sea...
Of course, I have an entire planet between me and Oz, so if the above is incorrect, let me know and I'll delete it.

Nope, you're on the money there. Salties are very territorial creatures and god help a smaller croc if it strays into a larger ones domain (that's what had happened in my walking on water incident above).
It's also not unheard of for fishermen miles out to sea to spot a floating log, only to realise shortly after it's actually a croc.
