Laws are state based, & make no allowance for outback or city.
Well I guess I’ll clarify, in the us states that have a higher percentage of wild animals in some cases have very lax gun laws. In Alaska as long as you can reach the counter with your money you will get a gun. Are states like that in your country? Just curious.

Not at all. Very strict regulations for guns & knives in all states & areas.

Darn those dingos sound bad. I’d want to be armed in their territory. I was hiking in my area one time and came across a baby bear, they are very cute but if you see one run like hell, the mother will kill you if she sees. I was lucky that day.

His brother was in my garage yesterday

Lots of Huntsmans around lately.
His cousin was in our letter box the other day.
I wanted the mail and I wasn't sticking my hand in there.

It would have been pretty difficult to get an ice cream container in the space so I'm afraid it was Mortein time for Mr Spidey.

It’s warm in the Garig Gunak Barlu National Park all year
Think the lowest temperature all year is 34C

The worst road in the NT getting there, you practically need 2 boat trailers one for in and one for out.
Beautiful spot once there, fish a cast and oysters the size of your hand.... stayed with the head Ranger and his wife and was introduced to crumbed oysters with lemon juice 🥰

Doesn't look too bad, just go for it.

He's just had lunch so he won't be hungry.

Lunch was probably a Toyota, or maybe a Nissan.

Native to many places but a lot in Australia and PNG, they go where they want. Have seen some big ones in my time well over the 4.5 to 5 meter average for the big ones.

Actually Australia nearly wiped them out in the Northern Territory around Darwin until hunting was stopped in the early 70s
300+ pulled out of Darwin Harbour per year and these guys get taken to croc farms for breeding for handbag leather . Hermes buys there skins from a croc farm not far from Darwin

They are natural to the green areas below and can swim from one end of the zone to the other. Have been 50-70km from land offshore and seen them happily swimming towards some small sandy island hundreds of kms away for a turtle feast at egg laying time in the middle of nowhere. Known to swim from Australia to Indonesia and back during a few months.
