The sad thing is he knows it,
Well I actually did this back in '96 when times were pretty hard, but didn't realise it was that well known outside of Katherine, NT?
It was actually a Johnston River Crocodile, we don't have alligators in Oz, the JR crocs are just little fresh water suckers, and they're a bit like K8 riders, they could kill a man...........eventually!
Now I wouldn't have done that with a "Salty", of course they can grow up to 30 feet long, I nearly stepped on a snoozing 20 footer that same year, and nearly had a "brown moment", ha ha!
We need a "True Story" category for these sorts of posts, if people didn't know the truth of the matter, they'd think you were joking Buffy? I don't know where you heard it mate, but it's a true story! Cheers, Terry.
