Croc's Gone Wild

from Kels gone bush - The Podcast Hosted by Kellie Arrowsmith

A couple of weeks ago , a bloke was swimming in Wangi Falls , NT when he was attacked by a saltwater crocodile . All hell broke loose and 80 or so people rushed for the waters edge , some people getting stuck on rocks while waiting for the croc to piss off. Luckily for the man who was bitten , it was just a little love bite and he had a few scratches on his arms and back according to reports . The attack sparked a croc hunt , with one bloke offering to give the victim the head of the croc once it was found. It also caused an old debate to start back up about the culling of saltwater crocodiles being reintroduced in the Northern Territory as other reports of crocs being where 'they aren't supposed to' came about. In this episode I suggested going to Mataranka thermal pools instead of Bitter Springs as its a lot safer when it comes to crocs. You can find a lot of info on these pools here : https://northernterritory.com/katherine-and-surrounds/destinations/mataranka-thermal-pool You can stay for the night or just take a dip on your way through - its definitely worth checking out if you're up that way :) I'd love to hear any feedback or episode suggestions .. or just to say gday , you can find me here : https://www.instagram.com/kelsgonebush/ https://www.facebook.com/Kelsgonebush If you would like to come on as a guest I am always looking for Aussie stories especially from the outback .
