It turns out that the inspiration for Black Water was taken from a real life event…
Climbing to safety…
In 2003, 19 year old’s Shaun Blowers and Ashley McGough witnessed a horrifying attack in the Australian outback.

The pair watched in shock as a crocodile killed their best friend, 22 year old Brett Mann.
Fight for survival…
The three friends had gone on a quad-biking trip near an abandoned mine beside the Finniss river.

While they were washing the mud from their clothes, Brett was swept away by the current and was captured by a waiting crocodile.
Determined to survive…
In a bid to escape the same fate as their friend, the remaining teens climbed a tree above the rising flood waters where they remained for 22 hours until their rescue.
