Three-legged saltie kept lookout for tasty fishos

ALYSSA BETTS

August 13th, 2009

THIS three-legged mountain of monster had been keeping fishos on full alert by lurking around a Territory boat ramp, looking for easy pickings.

And the 5m saltie caused a sensation with tourists and locals alike when he rolled into town recently - a threat no longer, but still able to draw a breathless crowd.

Borroloola's TJs One Stop co-owner Tegan Sauer, 22, said the saltie was the biggest one she'd seen for a while.

"I would reckon he'd have been 5m to 5.5m," she said. "He was pretty huge - he was curled around the trailer.

"And that was a car trailer - not just a standard box trailer."

Ms Sauer said the saltie had been hanging around at the boat ramp.

"(Parks and Wildlife) set a trap but he wouldn't go in it," she said.

"He was too big. They had to harpoon him."

The saltie was finally brought to heel about a month ago.

Aside from keeping tourists agog at the servo, the old fella was whizzed past the local school for the kids to have a gander.

Lots of curious locals also rushed to the school.

A MAN wades into the water and whistles. What happens next is almost beyond belief.
A half-tonne crocodile swims up but instead of making a meal of the man, the two begin to play-wrestle.

Meet Costa Rica's own Crocodile Man, 52-year-old Chito, and his best mate Pocho, a five-metre, 445kg croc, who put on this show for amazed crowds at a lake in Siquirres, reports the Courier Mail.
Chito told The Sun: "Pocho is my best friend. This is a very dangerous routine but we have a good relationship. He will look me in the eye and not attack me.
"It is too dangerous for anyone else to come in the water. It is only ever the two of us."

Chito made friends with the croc after finding him close to death with a gunshot wound in the eye on the banks of Costa Rica's Parismina River 20 years ago.
He enlisted some mates to help him load the massive reptile into his boat.
"When I found Pocho in the river he was dying, so I brought him into my house," he said.
"I stayed by Pocho's side while he was ill, sleeping next to him at night. I just wanted him to feel that somebody loved him, that not all humans are bad.
"It meant a lot of sacrifice. I had to be there every day. I love all animals - especially ones that have suffered."
It took years before Chito felt that Pocho had bonded with him enough to get closer to the animal.
He says: "After a decade I started to work with him. At first it was slow, slow. I played with him a bit, slowly doing more.
"Then I found out that when I called his name he would come over to me."
 
Unreal Sacha.. till he's hungry ,a little bit more then usual.

Don't buy a second hand boat from the NT........

Men swim 2km past crocs as new boat sinks

MATT CUNNINGHAM

August 22nd, 2009

THREE men had to swim more than 2km to safety after their boat sunk off the Darwin coast late yesterday.

Stephen Hoad, 22, Nat Brooks, 20, and Scott Hayes, 18, made it safely to shore last night but their boat - bought a day earlier - sank at sea. Mr Hoad told the Northern Territory News he and his mates headed to Nightcliff foreshore at 3.30pm to take it for a test drive.

But their dream toy trip soon turned into a nightmare.

"We went out a couple of kilometres and the motor died, then water started coming in," Mr Hoad said.

"We managed to get it started again but it died a second time and then the water started coming in really quickly."

The young men managed to get a few personal items out of the cabin before it started sinking and they had to bail.

They then swam more than 2km - through croc-infested water - to the Nightcliff foreshore.

Two then swam back out to the boat to retrieve more personal items - including an Australian flag - before swimming back in again. Mr Hoad bought the second-hand boat for $7000.

"After a couple of beers tonight we are going to give that bloke a call," Mr Hoad said. "We bought it off a couple. The last thing the woman said was, 'It runs really good ... really quiet'. We can certainly vouch for the quiet bit now."


Have a good one..

En dan terug zwemmen voor nog meer persoonlijke zaken.... ben benieuwd wat dat moet zijn geweest om je leven daar voor te wagen?  :?
 
Big croc misses lunching on a Neighbour

BAD TABLE MANNERS: Dean Geyer gets up close and personal with a Territory croc during his first Darwin visit yesterday. Picture: BRAD FLEET
FORMER Australian Idol star and Neighbours actor Dean Geyer got himself up close and personal with Territory crocs.

Just hours before he took to the stage in Darwin for the first time, Geyer took a dip with monster crocodiles at Crocosaurus Cove.

He was shaking as he stood just metres from a 5.2m croc, while dangling a piece of meat above it.

"(It was) obviously a big adrenaline rush," he said. "I never thought I would come that close to one."

In the video, Dean talks about his career, being a virgin and remaining true to his Christian faith... and opens up about his relationship with Veronicas hottie Lisa Origliasso.

Geyer said he had fallen in love with the Territory.

"(I'm) thinking about moving up here, definitely for the weather."

Jack, " He must be a special guy too"  :up:
---Klagen over het weer doen ze overal. En mijn Australische man zou ook echt niet in Darwin willen wonen en zo ken ik er nog veel meer. Ik ben echt niet de enige die 25 graden eigenlijk warm genoeg vindt. Ik denk dat jij toch tot een minderheidsgroep behoort. Sorry!  

Groetjes,
Rixta---   :wink:

MISS Universe Australia Rachael Finch met some crocodiles during her Territory visit yesterday... and had to run for her life when a 5m croc named Eric lunged at her.

The stunner told the Northern Territory News it was an incredible - yet scary - experience.

"As soon as I saw him move I got nervous," she said as she laughed about her brush with the huge hungry saltie.

The bubbly starlet visited Crocodylus Park yesterday to meet some of the biggest crocs in captivity.

She said it was one of the more unusual events she has been involved in since being announced the winner in April.

Ms Finch said it was wonderful to be visiting Darwin and said she was particularly proud to be wearing a Territory designed and crafted piece of jewellery in the international finale.

The one-off white gold necklace, which features a pink Argyle diamond, was designed by Aboriginal artist Anne Hanning-Kngwarreye and is based on the first rains falling on the Central Australian desert.

Ms Hanning-Kngwarreye said it was an honour to have her work chosen to be auctioned for charity on the international stage.

"It's amazing, I think it puts Aboriginal design and art on an international level," she said.

Ms Finch said she loved the piece of jewellery and was rapt to be wearing it.

"It is such a privilege," she said.

Mr Finch visited sick children at Royal Darwin Hospital and spoke at a female students' leadership forum at Sanderson High School.

She left Darwin last night to begin her trip to the Bahamas where she will represent Australia at the international finale of Miss Universe in August.

Another mass UFO sighting

MATT CUNNINGHAM

September 24th, 2008

THREE station workers and three backpackers have been left stunned after witnessing strange lights flying over a remote station in the NT outback.

Ray Aylett, Normie Hooker and Alan "Doc" McIntosh were sitting on their pergola at Muckaty Station with three European backpackers when a bright light appeared.

Mr Aylett, 58, said they were all stunned by the bizarre sighting.

"This strange light was coming straight for us, over the house," he said.

"We all walked outside and were watching it come towards us, then it went straight east and faded out.''

Mr Aylett, who has lived at the station north of Tennant Creek for eight years, said he couldn't believe his eyes as the bright light approached on a Thursday night two weeks ago.

"This thing was strange,'' he said.

"I have never seen anything like it."

"Normie and Doc had never seen anything like it either, and those backpackers, they were in shock."

"I was sitting there watching for a couple of minutes."

"You could see it coming towards us but it wasn't a plane."

"It made no noise - you couldn't hear anything.''

Mr Aylett said there was no way their judgement could have been affected by alcohol.

"Me and Doc had had a couple of beers, but Normie doesn't drink,'' he said.

He said the light returned the next night, this time coming from the other direction.

"One bloke went out with a pair of binoculars and said it just turned and went east,'' he said.

Jack, je bedoelt zoiets toch  :evil:

Krokodil grijpt plassende toerist

AMSTERDAM -  Een 20-jarige toerist die dacht even rustig te kunnen plassen in een riviertje heeft moeten rennen voor zijn leven.

De Amerikaan Andrew Dales uit Dallas bezocht een natuurpark in het Mexicaanse Cancun en besloot even te plassen in een meertje.

Toen hij net stond kwam er echter een krokodil uit het water zetten. De Amerikaan liep diverse bijtwonden op aan onder meer zijn nek en been. Ook had hij een hoofdwond omdat hij omver werd gezwiept.

De krokodillen in het park staan niet bekend als heel gevaarlijk. Ze worden gevoerd met vissen en dobberen doorgaans rustig door het meertje. Wel staan overal waarschuwingsborden met het advies niet te dichtbij te komen.
 
Het is allemaal wat in Mexico als je enkele Coronas teveel op hebt.
Die foto met de visetende crocs ligt zo'n 20 minuten rij afstand van mijn hokkie.
In je achtertuin voor de begrippen hier.
En het is zo, zo en dan moet ik naar Adelaide river voor werk en dat is zo'n 140 km tuffen en het lijkt niks omdat je bijna geen verkeer tegenkomt.
Armpje uit het raam , muziekje loud open ,sunglasses en drinken bij de hand [size=6pt]zware rum cola[/size] en zwaaien tegen de 4 tegenliggers die je onderweg tegenkomt.

Kathren ik zoek naar iemand voor mijn goed lopend bedrijf , Jack's BE [size=5pt]your own bait[/size] fishing safaris.
Vraag wat je wilt per uur ...je hebt je kwaliteit al bewezen.....fine by me.. je bent aangenomen.


AlieNL,  tsjeee, zullen we er maar mee lollen..... Die croc zag zeker een dobbertje hangen.
Gelukkig maar want als hij het aan zag als een volwassen vissie had hij misschien zijn mate meegebracht.

Zal is effe kijken op NT news of het erop te vinden is.

Jack :evil:
 
Hej Jack  :evil:! Glad you like my work!  :up: Zodra ik voet aan wal zet bespreken we onder het genot van een saté kroket of meat pie :wink:
 
Sate kroket ......euuhmmm Goulash kroket .Okay.
Ben altijd benieuwd naar andermans verhalen.

Heb net effe van "Nesje" Grenzen dicht gelezen.
Iedereen die hier al is weet tijdens de periode in NL wat het wachten en spanningen zijn.
Als je dat (grenzen dicht) ook nog allemaal erbij komt....leef met jullie mee Folks.

Hoop dat ze met mijn slappe verhalen en foto's het gevoel krijgen dat ze niet moeten opgeven.
