Hi all,
I have been away from the forum for ages as I have been at Cape York / Lakefield National Park for the last few weeks helping Steve and Craig attach data loggers to estaurine crocodiles. Just got back from the wilderness today and started to get my photos together, with many more to come from other photographers. I love my job so I thought I'd share a bit of it with you guys, and maybe give you some hints for good riding spots.
North Kennedy River Hann Crossing
Wearing 'ralls and driving the mud puppy - a duet of pleasures
Croc with data logger attached - this one about 4.4m
Typical landscape North Kennedy - good BMW country
Steep banks and big tides made life difficult and muddy getting in and out of boats
I need to bring the BMW here.......
Kalpowar Crossing - Normanby River. You ride across this - it's full of crocs..
Casio G-Shock ad - only about a 3m croc though (small)
Big tides + loads of boat skillz = excellent boat parking - my boat in spot of bother....
Jumping beasts with Steve. Truly a great honour and pleasure and experience I won't soon forget...
Orhpaned joey agile wallaby - I have become soft in my old age.......
GPS navigation skillz on Jam Tim Ck - got caught by the tides....Ended up sitting there tied to the bank in the middle of nowhere for quite a while.
Big 4.5m boofhead - this croc was tough to process it had some go in it. To give you some idea the maximum head width of the jaws about 50cm
Will post some more photos as they come to hand if anyone is interested.......
