I don't kow where peter is in australia but if he cares to attend the NSWSKC Rock'nRoll weekend this weekend he can see the scars in the flesh and talk to the croc wrestler.

the attack was in shallow water and the kayaker was out of his boat.
an article on this attack should soon be on the NSWSKC Web site.
