I remember 4 of us going around Jacky Jacky creek up the top in a 12`tinnie (tin boat) , looking at the croc tracks and even seeing some little ones swimming , had the missus with me , she was having a coronary ,I told her not to worry as I`d got a rifle ,in hindsight it would not have been much use if the boat capsized , looking back we must have been crackers!

Also remember being in Seisha ,QLD and watching the kids diving off the jetty , then noticed a memorial plaque for a kid eaten by a croc the year before!

Crocs. No bother. Throw your shoe at them and they bugger off at a remarkable speed.

It's these things I can't stand.

I met a former Rhodesian soldier whose face looked like it had festered completely off. After vomiting all over his shoes, I asked him what had done such a thing. "Ahh was bittin ba a violin spider".

How do they know it wasn't Bull Sharks? as they are very well known for swimming up rivers and eating people, on 3 different continents.

Is that you Steve?

No, they won't. It would be eaten before the journey is 1/2-way through.

The crocs don't eat them. Bastards to clean apparently.
