A short documentary from a 1956 crocodile hunt.
There are 3 short segments.

Ahhhhhhhh, how it used to be......

DVD is still available but don't purchase if you are a little politically correct for which we mostly are not

The dog is great...
:-)

The dog riding back on the Croc was worth it all.

I just bet that leg bone was a bit "RIPE" also.

I remember seeing that movie in the mid 70s i cant remember if it was at the cinema or drive in Theatre ,he didnt think to take an axe with him and and had to use his 303 to Cut a tree that was across a road .There was also some Aborigines in the film living in the bush and in terrible physical condition from memory .The fox terrier attacked everything including a goanna and a shark.

No cinema or drive in would take it on so he travelled the country hiring halls or wherever he could show the movie. In our case it was the local arts centre.

I don't know how old I was but I remember seeing it as a kid with my Dad at the local RSL club.

My class loved this film!

Go teacher!!! Do you have a copy of Ruark's 'Africa Adventure'?

Cheers, Matt! Yep, somewhere I do. That's another beauty, that film.

Hey Tankhunter, what you mentioned about the 303 chainsaw is excatly what I remembered about the film. I'm sure I watched the film at a local Sporting Club.
Cheers Malcolm

Im sure it was advertised on the local TV station at the time, might been at the Town Hall ,there was also another couple of Movies that did the rounds at the time that were shown to school kids ,one was a fellow and his wife who took two cj5 or cj6 jeeps through the Simpson Desert and another with a couple travelling in a landrover through Northern Qeensland and the Northern Territory with buffalo etc shown .My memory not great anymore from to much barbed wire brain detergent.

Keith Adams should have got Australian of the year for this Movie ,back when Australia was Australia, and Australians were alot better than they are now, and the ladies who were capable and pleasure to be with and Fox Terriers had short tails
