G’day Thrillseekers ,
Wherever you are on this amazing planet I want to welcome you.
This part of my blog has one main purpose.
That purpose is to provide a small safe space for you so you can put aside every day concerns and just immerse yourself in the wonders I’m going to show you.
Welcome to the Australian outback.
The first photos will be from diverse areas of Australia that many people have never seen or even knew existed!
Then if you choose, you and I will begin a whole new journey together as we travel and discover the spectacular, scary, and stupefying beauty of the Australian outback.
Are you ready? Then buckle up! This is going to be a wild ride.
Here we go!
Nothing scary in Australia?
Just kangaroos and big lizards?
Well cop this!
I took these photos in the Tiwi Islands it was up somewhere called Goose Neck Creek or something like that. .
So I felt quite exhilarated after taking photos of the 5 metre saltwater crocodile which would’ve tipped the scales around about 825 kg.
Fun fact. A saltwater crocodile of this size can take down a full grown adult as easily as if it was a small wallaby. For our overseas visitors a wallaby is equivalent to the size of a small deer.
Fun fact two. Saltwater crocodiles are also very happy in freshwater, never go bloody swimming up north in Australia!
fun fact three. There is a widely
held belief that if crocodiles attack they chew what they catch to pieces. Something like a shark attack.This is totally untrue.
The crocodile drowns it’s victim by grabbing their prey, dragging it underwater and then spinning it’s body rapidly multiple times in the water in what is classically known as a “crocodile death roll” Then it takes it’s prey to it’s “larder” which is usually in a quiet place under the bank of a billabong or creek and stores it for later so it can consume its meal at it’s leisure.
This is why you never, ever, ever, ever, go swimming where you’re not supposed to!
Believe in yourself, always
Geoff
