Australia whrillwind tour

1whobuys · Jan 30, 2005

Hey....

I'm coming to the Land of OZ in about 3 weeks....
I'm trying to rent a camper to waste 26 days in the sun just drinking beer, wrestle some 14" gators, ride an Osrich and pet a Platypuss or two...

If there is anyone on here from OZ that wants to help me in my quest, drop me a line......> macaw1us@yahoo.com

I plan on hitting the East Coast from the the South all the way up to the big Reef, then I'll try to take in Darwin and such on the way home.

I'll be there from Febuary 14th until March 22nd...let me know

I plan on getting some more drool pictures of Gundy while I'm there if we can hook up

Maybe even pick up my damn arrows from him....

14" gators sound like a Croc to me.

Sounds like a lot of fun....if you get a chance check out the West; I really enjoyed the landscape (at least near the coast

).

Theyve not all got sharp teeth..

Ive been wondering what happened to the rest of that shoe, and the fella that used to be in it.

Ian,
For a guy with no teeth, he sure is a chubby fellow

and I ment a 14' (foot) gator.

My Girlfreind was ok with everything until I told her I planned on petting some Platypuss's?! (or is it Pussi?)

You know with their soft little tummys and silky smooth hair, I thought it would be fun

Now take that picture of Gundy and add "Drool" then throw in a couple of his buddies and me....picture perfect!!!!

Yes you are correct, there are two varieties, Fresh water and salt water crocodiles, the freshys are predominately fish eaters and grow to about eight feet, but can give you a shocking bite.

The Salties are the big fellas and can be found in the river systems a long way from salt water. (you dont have to worry about sharks getting when swimming, these fellas have cleaned them all out)
They arent too fussy what they eat, Kangaroos, pig, cows or humans all taste pretty good to them.

They grow over twenty feet long, with the odd big fella well in excess of that.

This ones a Fresh water croc, hes looking after my desert ergos

Hes about eight feet long.. (he decided to go swimming with me in the Gregory River in western Queensland, and has been with me ever since .

)
