I'm probably over reacting
I don’t wish to sound too alarmist but did any of you read that report in this weeks papers about the cockey (the human kind) who was caught up a tree in some swamp surrounded by crocodiles writing a farewell message to his son on the lid of his tobacco tin. Every night two of them would stalk him and all he could see was two sets of red eyes while the big bull roared in the distance. During the day helicopters flew by close enough to pass a football to but the p….t (what can this word be) didn’t see him till the fifth day.
Now I’m probably being paranoid but after reading this and coming home to read, in the latest blog entries: that my own family were venturing into similar territory, I felt a chill through my spine. I have to admit that the story sounds a lot more like a trailer from Crocodile Dundee III or an outtake from Wolf Creek, Razorback or some other outback horror flick, and I did read it in the Telegraph so who knows what this desperate drug addled journo downloaded from the net to meet his deadline. Isn’t that just the point, those vast unoccupied expanses where you have to wait a week for tires from Adeliade, home of the Snowtown Murders, and long weekends go for three days are just riddled with feral pigs, crocks and Murdocks. Just look at the photo of Steven next to his very authentic rig. Where’s his face, just a hat and shadow, the very grist of gothic horror. Did he show you his guns? No, even worse, he’s hiding them. I warn you Sue, you cant trust any of them. Rob and Jo from SA, If that means South Australia then I say Stay Away.

Thanks for the advice Robert. No Steven did not show us his guns but he has quite a collection of rakes,spades and assorted tools suited to grave digging ???? and he is becoming more feral, as each day he would go for a long bush walk armed only with a long stick. On his return he would describe the water monitors and snakes that got away from him. Additionally the caravan opposite us has a much tattooed man (with wife and 2 kids) who has two water pythons in a cage that he gets out for exercise in the afternoon. He wants to buy my generator but has no money and offered me a snake in exchange, which I declined. We also have a single young guy who makes no eye contact, does not talk to anyone and plays cricket with himself, yes he bowls the ball and then goes and picks it up and bowls it again, so we do have our share of NT loonies !!!! bye for now and rest assured we are safe, Sue, Chris & Olly.
