Yeah, its tough in Australia alright. 2 weeks ago we pulled a 3 foot sea 
snake out of Sydney Harbour at the Manly Pier. Well we didn't actually 
touch it we called the marine biologist down from the nearby shark aquarium 
and he picked it up after we coaxed it onto the beach, explaining that it 
was sick. But he did say that it is extremely deadly so we were well 
advised not to have tried to handle it anyway.

Dave Winkworth's trick will take b bit of beating though. You can count the 
survivors of croc attacks in this country on one hand!
