A little story about the famous "sweetheart" ,a 28 footer that lived near Darwin a few years ago . Believe he is now stuffed as an exhibit.

He was partial to a bit of tinny; perhaps as bark canoes are seldom seen these days.

Perhaps his eyesight was a bit off - anyway, a fisherman friend recounted his moment of terror as he and his mate , their rifle and all their gear went into the water when their boat was ferociously attacked by the big fella getting hold of their outboard motor.

This big, rough, European NT Australian went back to his Bible lessons in noting his next movements, and presumably those of his friend as they headed for the safety of the bank .

"I walked on water "!

Funny, I never did see him swim .

kartiya jim,

Hey thanks, a good story :)

So what do you think about having some lakes cleared of Crocs in areas where the regional farmers live to allow the kids have a swim Katrina Jim?

You know what I mean- Start relocating the eggs etc. I am not talking about mass murder or anything. I get very cross knowing how hot it gets up there and let’s face it these are not city kids.

They don’t have much else to do in summer. Don’t you think we should make sure they have at least one safe swimming hole?

Yes that is an interesting story and I have heard similar.

The big Croc I mentioned Author took over from an old giant called George.

It wasn’t their first scrap but finally he won the area.

The locals have never seen George again.

He could be dead or simply left.

EVO,

No mate, no Crocs up here at all.

They are all white sharks wearing sneakers.

Perhaps you might prefer to go out in a tiny with kartiya Jim, and his buddy.

I am sure they would feel much safer next time having a real Croc whisperer along with them ah.

(As they say safety in numbers :)

Oh and I head a WSPA that Crocs can count too.
