All sounded a bit fishy to me, another good yarn west. Who's gonna walk river crossings before driving across now! Easy decision to stay home for the V8's now.

Yep it should be, but I just do the driving, take pictures and remain obedient to SWMBO. Talked (forced) me into getting rid of the camper (2 of em) and now I can't even take this one through long grass.

Whenever a big croc story emerges anywhere in Australia, the length quoted is always directly proportional to the excitement of the reporter :-o).

Reminds me of when Sweetheart was captured and brought back to Berrimah Farm which resulted in the photo of Sweetheart with both my daughters in it going world wide.

Dave Lindner runs the buffalo farm in
Kakadu, Buck is a
ranger in
Kakadu, both were responsible for Sweethearts capture in the Finnis river in
Litchfield NP.
Sweetheart was 300 mm shorter than the one above.

Pity it might not be the croc that was doing the scaring..
The local kids had been teasing a biggen by hanging from trees and feeding it
camp dogs. This one was harpooned after the teased croc took a swipe at a kid who fell in the drink. When the croc was shown to the kids at the school they laughed telling the rangers their salty had all its limbs.
