and when something goes horribly wrong - which it can do - then it sure enough is the crocodiles fault.  I mean we humans would never make and error in judgement now would we.......disbelief

I know it's different strokes for different folks but...

I think the heat and all the rain is affecting some people's brains up here.   They should put some of these idiots in the pen and let crocs swing over them.

I was in Adelaide River N.T. some years ago and saw a four metre plus croc jump up to grab a piece of meat dangled on a string by a ranger.  All but about one foot of its tail was out of the water.   What a sight that would be for all the tourists watching..a croc latched onto a thrill seeker in a harness over a pool.  I'd pay to see that........

Sounds exciting from a spectators view Ian. Might have to check it out when we visit the daughter in Cairns, only to watch though!!!

Love the "sound effects" Pete.
For me it's EITHER the croc park OR the bungy jumping. Not bungy jumping over the croc park. That's suicide.
The casino must be desperate for customers, or the budget is short and they need more meat for the menu.
The climate has played havoc with tourism (and the thinking) in Qld, but that's normal for the wet season. Everyone's gone troppo!
We'll see what happens when the dry kicks and the floods dry out.
It sounds like a sadistic spectator sport. Will they pay us to watch?
