I'm a bit scared

[mockchoc]

I'm going to be floating down this river in the outback in two weeks time. There is freshwater crocodiles which don't eat much unless you come close and they'll bite you just not eat you. Then there is a chance a more dangerous saltwater one is around. Not likely but never 100%. It said that it's not great for those with arachnophobia. I wouldn't have it except I got bitten by one so now don't fancy them being above my head in all the webs. At least they are UP right? I will need a glass of wine first but I will go for it...maybe.

Brilliant. Great idea to go there. I'd forgotten about it... perhaps thinking you were going to be further south. Enjoy..... and don't smile to much at the crocs.

We kept changing our minds kuskiwi. I rang the resort at Ayers rock and it's ultra busy plus there is some car race on too so decided to do what we first planned. I'll be walking on water if I even see a freshie!

relax - while I was there, there was a 7ft python on Ian's front porch!! eeeek. I do NOT do snakes. luckily he was trying to warm up in the sun. tough. I passed my camera thru a louvre and stayed inside !

Good thinking on how to handle that situation Voy.

Still - a sleepy python is different from an awake croc.. but - go anyway Mockers - and just keep all extremities IN the boat!

Voy there was no boat involved. Just us floating with a floaty noodle thingy in the water. Anyway we are back alive so all good. Off to Magnetic Island next weekend. We drove over 5,500km's in 3 weeks! Great trip though.
