Crocodile farming, November 2006

That possibly was the most amazing experience I've ever had.
Working with a di**head though, Malcom Douglas, the crocodile hunter who is decently famous in Australia.
He was boasting all the time...well, I'm not gonna dwell on that, we didn't have to get along with him anyway as we barely saw him while working.
A mere week working there for it was to carry the crocodiles up to 2m from some ponds to some smaller ponds separated by a few yards.
For this we were to drive some sort of wrecked cars which was absolutely hilarious.

Don't tell that to my mum, a german guy working with us got bitten badly at the calf and got out of the hospital with like 30 stitches in it...

The method was to shock the reptiles to carry them but as the effect lasted 30 to 45sec., we had to hold the jaw tight not to get bitten and they were struggling a lot.

It was facinating I reckon for it was the closest imaginable thing I could do to experiment myself towards the real aussie experience.
