Stillwater Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 After leaving Wyndham in northerly direction, a short turn over Joseph Bonaparte gulf... ... and following Victoria River into the lowlands of NT... ... towards Katherine / Tindal. A short stop at the army base there (surely allowed, cause I am RFDS service...) and then heading north, over the lovely water landscape of the NT, home of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salties : "Saltwater crocodiles have a strong tendency to treat humans in their territory as prey, and have a long history of attacking humans who stray into their territory. Given their enormous power, size, and speed, survival of a direct predatory attack is unlikely if the crocodile is able to make contact. In distinct contrast to the American policy of encouraging a certain degree of habitat coexistence with alligators, the only recommended policy for dealing with saltwater crocodiles is to avoid their territory whenever possible, as they tend to be highly aggressive when encroached upon." .. before the rest at Batchelor. Luckily, there were no Crocodile attacs to be cured today... Unedited, uncropped, even though i should have done in the last one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Great set Gerold. We have a plethora of nasty bitey critters here in Oz that can do you great harm ranging from a 5m saltie to a match head size bush tick which both can be fatal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the salties are big enough to be modeled with CreatureFlow in AU 2.0 (if we can convince John to give green light!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A piece of cake for the skilled ORBX team, but the bush tick, red back spider and blue ringed octopus might be a bit harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
