News from the NT - its a whopper!

Another reason to be a little careful up North - https://www.katherinetimes.com.au/s...rapped-in-the-river-second-in-a-week/?cs=1459

"Katherine wildlife rangers have trapped their biggest crocodile of the year so far.

The capture of a 4.4-metre saltie was the second in about a week after a "quieter" than usual dry season.

This latest capture was trapped in the Flora River Nature Park, south west of Katherine, on Friday.

The same rangers caught a 3.3 metre saltie last Tuesday also downstream of Katherine but this time at Taylors Park."

Still not quite the size of the 4.7m one caught a couple of years ago -

Yes, to my memory back a long time.

I believe they’ve stop serving crocodile meat to locals and restaurants, only Aboriginals who lives in the NT.

Outback Jacks is one establishment with Croc on the Menu

Well I'm also certain that it would be "free-range" roo although it would be hard to guarantee that the croc was "organic"
