But the thought of getting up close with snakes, crocs, spiders, mosquitos – irresistible. Really! Well… perhaps not the mozzies.

Great adventure indeed and makes my urban encounter with a python seem rather tame.
I must get “out west” one day.

The only thing they’ve all got in common is their wild Aussie beauty!
@Memphis Steve – Maybe if you teletransported the crime gangs & ho’s to the swamp … ??!!
@Nikki – Always a pleasure to see you! Encounters with snakes are NEVER dull! And ‘Go west, young (wo)man’ is a great piece of advice for Aussie travel!!

It reminds me of Memphis, except we have way more crime and gangs and prostitutes.

“yeah I’ve got one in my pocket” are the best lines ever.

I don’t think you were duped. I think that was just a fine example of a fair dinkum Aussie wildlife nut:)

Sounds like a fun trip apart from the mossies. The fabulous birds are well worth going for even if you do have to put up with a few creepy reptiles!
