Yea, it's between the Yabby Trap factory and the Nipper Pump repair shop. Ask for Delores, she'll show you around.

He's just getting worse

Did you see teh pics of the nipper and pump in your whitetail spider thread?

Karl, a saltie named 'Tim'? I trust you are a Python fan, otherwise all the other salties would die bloody laughing!! Not usually into anthropomorphism, but I have this image in my mind of some bloody great saltie wandering around saying, 'Hi, my name is Tim' while he knocks off a horse or cow. just tickles my fancy.

Or NitroX stalking the northern swamps for that trophy croc.
Lines up the biggest croc he has ever seen.
Croc turns to face him: "Hi guy, my name is Tim!"
NitroX: "Dammit....", moves on.




Karl.

Just as I was giving up all hope, a quality photo.

Express, I thank you!

Nickudu
Apparently when they cut him open they found 3 Philippino fisherman in there......still in their boat

Bakes, the Phillipinos were in the female, the Czech was in the male.

I wish we had the "roll eyes" Graemlin, Marrakai. That's as bad as one of Nickudu's

Many years ago I was in Australia and I got the phone number of the lady who was supposed to have shot the 28 foot plus croc. I called but no one was home. Later I saw pictures of her in books and pictures of the model allegedly based on the 28 foot croc itself but no photos or reference to any skins, skulls or skeletons. It is difficult to believe they could all have disappeared and thus difficult to believe the story.

Its a pity some of our members are no longer able to post.

LMAO...good one.

In 1992 I saw the tracks of a croc at the mouth of the Drysdale River in North West Australia. The mark of its belly in the sand was 20" across and its stride was a bit bigger than mine. Im 5'11".

When we were out in the dingy it spent the whole time slowly circling us about 150 meters off. It was hunting us!

If he were a real python fan the saltie would have been named "Eric" this is the sketch with Eric the cat, Eric the goldfish, and of course Eric the half a bee (he had an accident)

I have a copy of a book from the sixties by Keith Wiley, a semi pro hunter, and it has a few really decent crocs in it.

But Phillip Holden wrote one called "Crocodile" that isn't necessariliy from the hunters point of view but has some good stuff about sizes of the biggest crocs.
