This isn't the first time multiple crocodiles have been spotted at Lake Moondarra after a snake ate a crocodile in 2014.
Photographer Jason Hoopert said the photos were taken using a drone.
"I'm a keen photographer and the drone was my new toy," Mr Hoopert said.
"Originally I went out there to take photos of pelicans and I didn't know there was fresh water crocodiles in the lake.""
Mr Hoopert was flying his drone around the lake and noticed a shadow on the bank.
"I'm like that's a croc," he said.
"So I flew closer to have a look and the crocodile, didn't worry about the drone at all, so I just hovered around it taking photos.
"I've gone out flying around there a few times since. I've actually found a few islands where they like to hang out.
"There's actually quite a few out there, I think the most I found in one day has been around seven."
