Doesn't that kookaburra know that it's illegal to kill snakes in OZ.

Game regulations frequently do not apply to indigenous peoples.

Are there hunting regulations for wild crocs?  In the USA, there are seasons and regulations by state for hunting alligators.  There are commercial hunters for harvest and guides for sport hunting.

Yes unless they are really problematic they can't be killed. They've been protected in most Northern States for 30-40 years because of over hunting, but they have bred back up to such a degree that something might have to be done.

Daggone now ... that thing was big enough to eat whole cattle ... I'd be less inclined to relocate the beast and more inclined to call in an air strike!
Where's Puff the Magic Dragon, or a Warthog, when you need one?

What's that between the grated cheese and the tomato? It kind of looks like sliced potato, but it's hard to tell with that white stuff on it. So what is it, and what is the white stuff?

The math doesn't equal out so I did some reading.   They overcorrected to plan for future drift.  

 

No wonder it is so hard to get an Australian to go back home when their visa expires, their home isn't where they left it.

FASTEST AUSTRALIAN SHEARER- 1892

National Museum Australia.

Jack Howe was a shearer whose feats in the sheds of central Queensland made him a legend. In 1892, Howe sheared 321 sheep in one day using hand shears – a record that still stands today.

John Robert Howe was born in Warwick in southeast Queensland in 1861. Known as Jack or Jackie, he worked as a shearer and settled in the Blackall district of central Queensland. He became famous, a gun shearer, setting records that stood for decades.

Physical descriptions paint Howe as a giant of a man, with hands the size of small tennis racquets and wrists as strong as steel. He set records even when other shearers tried to distract him, by tickling him or jumping on his back. His presence in a shed was said to lift tallies far above normal, as men tried to compete with him.

At Alice Downs station in Queensland in October 1892, Howe sheared 1437 sheep in a week. A few days later, he broke another record, shearing 321 sheep in seven hours and 40 minutes.

Howe performed both feats using blade shears and, despite the introduction of machine shearing technology, his record tally of 321 sheep remained intact until 1950.

In the same 1892 season, Howe also broke the record for machine shearing at Barcaldine Downs, where he sheared 237 sheep in one day using the new technology.

When Howe quit shearing in 1900, he became a publican and owned hotels in Blackall and Barcoo.

He had been an active member of the Shearers’ Union and he continued to advocate for workers’ rights as a member and president of the Blackall Workers’ Political Organisation. He was also a member of the fledgling Australian Labor Party. Howe died in 1920, aged 58.
