It might be about time to get the .458 Winchester Mag out and piss a few of 'em off.
Hey Mick, have you been up to Nhulunbuy? I spent a month or so there in 1995 working with our indigenous soldiers from Norforce on exercise Kangaroo '95. It would have, without a doubt, the best beaches in Oz, but everywhere I walked, all I saw (apart from Dingo's, Buffalo's and Taipans.........) was massive footprints from where the big Saltwater Croc's came out of the surf. At least sharks aren't a problem there, the Croc's ate them all long ago! Cheers, Terry,
Terry, It's one of the few places that I've never been to mate.
An old mate of mine who passed on a few years ago had been living and working over there and we always talked about a fishing trip but those plans got cut short.
Everybody who's ever been there says how magic the place is.
That fella on the NT News link (Galarrwuy Yunupingu) is the older brother of Mandawuy Yunupingu from Yothu Yindi.
I think that our Mick (RR) has a sister who works over that way on one of the Mine sites.
Back in the 80's a fella by the name of Gerry Blitner who was the Chairman of the Northern land Council, an old croc hunter and a land rights campaigner, bought some turtle soup into work for us after we fixed his car.
It wasn't a bad feed for a change.
There were a lot of characters around back in those days.
We had all sorts coming and going back then throughout the 80's & 90's.
Everyone from the NT Chief Minister (Marshal Perron) to the Hells Angels heavyweights.
It pisses me off that those days are gone now.
