Australia has alligators

From wikipedia...

Among Normanton's most notable features is a statue of an 8.64-metre (28.3 ft) long saltwater crocodile named Krys, the largest ever taken, which was shot by Krystina Pawlowska in July 1957 in the Norman River. "The Big Barramundi", which is 6 metres (20 ft) long, is also located in the town.

I've stood next to this statue on my way to a fishing holiday in Karumba... it's one big croc!
I was also fortunate to see Krys the Croc while we were in Normanton pig hunting and fishing.
They have a reproduction of Krys in the main street of town.

Matt Wright the crocodile hunter in the Norther Territory with his latest catch.
He relocates problem croc’s. Matt said the crocodile, affectionately dubbed Rex by his fans, was 5.1metres (16.7 feet) long despite missing a huge chunk of its tail.
“Just another day in Australia...catching the local dinosaur who’s been eating the cattle and moving him on to somewhere else.”

One very big critter
 
How on earth do you move one that size around? It must weigh a couple of tons!
They use vehicle trailers and 4 X 4 Toyota's to tow them to the release sites.

Alligator Blood

We’re Australians -we are different

@Dr Ray
Only a queenslander would think like that.
Reminds me of the time when the Japanese won the Melbourne cup.
They asked the horse how come they run so fast and who was the trainer.
The horse replied
If you were on the menu you would learn to run fast as well.

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
