Things That Can Kill You #5

Broome, Australia


There are two kinds of crocs in the north of Australia. Freshwater crocs are harmless to humans, they just mind their own business and live together in peace and harmony.

Fucking hippies.

It's saltwater crocs we're interested in, they have been known to take humans and they're clever bastards an all, they watch for patterns in behaviour so if you go fishing at the same spot every day it'll wait for you and attack. However, they'll always go for the thing least likely to fight so it's important to pack a dog or a small child in the boot of your car when you head out to catch lunch.

The Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Farm in Broome houses some big bastard salties that had to be removed from their natural habitat when they started "making a nuisance of themselves." Y'know, scaring old ladies and eating people and the like. They run tours at 11am but 3am is feeding time. Now that's what I'm talking about and it's only $20 if you're a backpacker.

It's an ideal way to dispose of bodies and they even let you hold a baby croc at the end.

I feel so Steve Irwin.
