Into the Never Never: July 2006
http://intothenevernever.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Into the Never Never. Monday, July 31, 2006. The Mareeba Wetlands Reserve. Is a stunningly peaceful place. The visitor centre, where I live, is at the end of ten kilometres of dirt road. The nearest town is Mareeba and with one main street it's only consolation to cosmopolitan life is a Coles and a KFC. The annual Mareeba Rodeo however is apparently impressive and features high on the Australian rodeo circuit (and that's the first I'd heard of the Australian rodeo circuit too).

Into the Never Never: December 2006
http://intothenevernever.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Into the Never Never. Monday, December 11, 2006. I have a knack for choosing really shit titles for my blogs. My little trip through Asia, I called the Leopard’s Tale. Even though I saw not one wild leopard and the majority of the trip was actually spent in the back of a Tibetan supply truck (or squatting over a Tibetan dunny). I thought Aztec Gold. I can’t lounge around forever mind you. I will have to get out and into it all again when the new-year rolls around. Maybe I’ll return here for some ...I wil...

Into the Never Never. Sunday, October 22, 2006. Ideally we’d like our crocs to stay around, hopefully have a little romance and, all things going well, pop out a few kids. If we chuck them straight in the water after their capture ordeal, chances are they’ll take the first exit they come across and will disappear back down the river in no time. You hear people talk about burning leaches off with a cigarette lighter or pouring salt over them so they’ll drop off. I’m sure these are all highly affective...

Into the Never Never: August 2006
http://intothenevernever.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Into the Never Never. Sunday, August 27, 2006. Since its conception as a wildlife sanctuary, the intention has always been to introduce freshwater crocodiles into the Mareeba Wetlands. The area was full of crocs fifty years ago but after a long spell of heavy hunting and the drainage of the permanent waterways they disappeared completely. Within two weeks I was handed the job of designing and implementing the plan to capture and relocate forty freshwater crocodiles into the Wetlands. The wardens, alr...

Into the Never Never: June 2006
http://intothenevernever.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Into the Never Never. Thursday, June 29, 2006. They look like little wind-up toys, with podgy bodies, slick, plastic bills and rubbery webbed feet. They're comical little feet paddle rapidly and out of time with each other to give a duck-like waddle to their swimming. Posted by Zonski @ 1:39 PM. Wednesday, June 28, 2006. It was undoubtedly with this typical Australian bluntness that the "Town of 1770" was named. This secluded spot, on the Queensland coastline, is so named because in 1770 Cook and his...
