Don't get oliphaunts in the Northern Territory.

No, no no:).

"Of course not, the crocodiles chased them all away."

People are no fun any more.

I don't want to frighten off the tourists ...

Can't be any drop bears in the area, or those two salt water crocodiles would have become drop bear food the moment they wandered ashore ...

Why, to go fossicking for tourists dropping brown eyed mullets of course, but only after 5 when the dunnies are locked shut.

Drop-bear repellent

somehow i have this vision of crocodiles with their faces smeared with Vegemite...

'Cause since they lack hair, the forks keep falling off their heads?

Those prefab shacks could be bushranger hideouts. 8-D

They're owned by a tour company.

Come to think of it, you're right.

I gather that the fees they charge smack of highway robbery? ^_^

Interesting item in one of the papers up here today. It seems that they have a homing instinct. They radio tagged some when they relocated them to less popular beaches, and discovered that they made their way back to where they had been captured. One covered over 200 miles in three weeks!

This must be a total piss-take, because those "crocs" are bigger than the houses.

If it's not a piss-take, then I'm never going to visit Australia again for as long as I live, because you were supposed to TELL US YOU'VE STILL GOT DINOSAURS THERE!!

They are floating in shallow water, so what you are seeing is croc + shadow on the sandy bottom. However, there is one in the Darwin museum that measures 5m, and is considered large, but not the biggest. Typically they grow 3m to 4m. And I don't get them where I live, which is nice. It's rare to find them as far south as Proserpine, Qld, and they need land so you don't see them on the Reef.

But when you see a sign saying "Do not swim," you obey the sign.

I also just noticed an overwhelming lack of Great White Sharks.
Aren't they supposed to lurk off the Oz coast trolling for surfers and settling for the odd cage diver?;)

and there is nothing odder than a cage diver!!
