I Was Giving Some Thought to Retiring in Australia

Maybe not…

Don’t worry the crocs have some taste so you’d probably be safe.

Throw a cheese hunk at it for distraction.

Any chance of getting Ken some wheels?

Hell, why don’t I just make him a giant cracker at that point and serve myself up as an afternoon snack???

Saw that on the Discovery Channel the other day.

"Season 12 of Wheelchair Crocodile Hunters. Episode 4: Steven Hawking gives it a go."

“Assuming that the crocodile has an upward jaw movement equal to the square of his downward velocity, we can then safely calculate the time that it would…”

Add some vegemite while you're at it.

I do not know you well enough to comment on the "giant cracker" part...

I could never, visit, yes, retire, no. Something in the water down there for those animals and bugs to become that large.

Just the moths down there creep me out.

Some bedtime stories for the grandkids. Read it with the Little Dingo playing softly in the background.

@Drguano a reposting of the link is required. I’m not going to be dumb enough to click on it.

A Giant Wood Moth.They are perfectly fine and won't bother you... as far as you know... 

The real pain in the arse is the Bogong moth. They are attracted to light (like all moths) and will travel huge distances. During the Sydney Olympics, they were tracking Bogong moths travelling from as far away as Canberra. Many ended up cremated in the Olympic Cauldron, and raining down crispy moths on the spectators below.

they are moths. they are not going to hurt you. and i think the pic might have been dodgied up a bit. as for the Olympics, they did build the stadium where the moths had been migrating to annually for millions of years. 

something i learnt recently, we apparently have the world's most venomous ants - the jackjumper ants in Tasmania - which can kill you and have been responsible for a number of deaths. and if you don't die from the sting, you wish to your divinity you would. jackjumper ants sound like something from the Hunger Games.

Two words - Moth Ra…or is it one word? Just don’t leave a light on…
