WVUforREDSKINS Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 So, was yous guys the first ones to celebrate the new year ? I think New Zealand and some small islands beat us...But it was a great time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yeah, NZ is two hours ahead of Sydney, so they are even further into 2010 they we are. I think Tonga, Fiji, etc, would be the same as NZ, but any place west between NZ and the International Dale Line was first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuvalu, Kiribati, and Chukotka, Russia got the party started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVUforREDSKINS Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 This is Rex on of the worlds largest crocodile at 17 ft. He is known as "the last living dinosaur" apparently all these things do is eat and sleep Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 The world's largest crocodile at 17 feet? Mate, wait until you head north (if you do). A 17 foot croc will seem like a gecko when you see the size of the mofo's up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 17 foot croc will seem like a gecko when you see the size of the mofo's up there. Did a quick search and go this Rex, one of the world's biggest crocodiles at around 5m long and 700kg, is unveiled to the public in his new Kakadu-themed home, at Sydney Wildlife World on December 22, 2009 in Sydney, Australia. The new resident is the star of "The Last Living Dinosaur" exhibit following his relocation from Darwin. They advertise him at Sydney Wildlife World as the biggest. Rex goes to Houston, TX next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 There it is, in the very first line. Rex is one of the worlds biggest crocs. I lived in Darwin for 23 years and got chased off a beach by a 20 footer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus87 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 They advertise him at Sydney Wildlife World as the biggest. Rex goes to Houston, TX next They advertise him like that, but I'm sure there are much bigger ones out in the wilderness. Which is actually scary to think about.I like the koala pictures.

Which is actually scary to think about. It's all about the marketing and promotion. Tourists wouldn't know any different, so they lap it all up. Take them away from the big cities, and 90% of them would crap their pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 So I should head to Darwin for the big massive crocs right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Not necessarily Darwin, but North Queensland (Cairns and beyond) and the Top End of the Northern Territory should do. My bro has built a fishing shack on a block of land approx 300 km's south of Darwin. It's situated on the Daly River, and there is a resident croc of about 15 foot that just hangs around. It's his territory, and if you don't piss him off, he tends to leave everyone alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVUforREDSKINS Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 They do have strange birds here. There is one that sounds like a baby crying, wakes me up nearly everyday. If you are going to live here, you can't be scared of spiders. Also, a huntsman spider came into my house once and just sat in the corner for a day. It also caught a ****roach and was sucking the guts outta it. Did I post that pic yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
