Speaker 1 (00:27):
Fly, It's time fly.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, on the cutting room floor today. That's a croc.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
That's a croc. Let's talk about crocodiles. Let's talk about
the Fitzroy River in Queensland, which is about five hundred
k's north of Brisbane. This is home to a lot
of crocodiles and in the nineteen seventies salties were a
protected species. Well they've been a protected species since then
because their population was decimated by hunting before that.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, everyone, Well that was what crocodile Dundee was based
on because for the crocodile meat and the leather, all
those things as Ermese bags, they're made of crocodile la cost.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
You know, I've seen the shoes the crocs, so they
made of crocodiles. Actually, have they thought of making crocs
out of crocodiles?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
This is a great idea. Let's get on the ground floor.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So what's interesting is that this is what's happening in
the Fitzroy River. Crocs live there. Let's just accept that
it's five hundred k's north of Brisbane.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, there's a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It was announced in March that this is going to
be the scene of the rowing and the canoeing events
in the twenty thirty two Olympic and Paralympic Games in Queensland.
So you're getting a river that is infested with crocs
and telling your rowing and canoeingists that that's where they're
(01:43):
going to do it. They're saying. Locals are saying that
running into an apex predator is unlikely at that time
of year, but the saltwater crocs are most easy to spot.
They bask their cold blood on the river banks. But
you can never be sure. And how about this? Professor
Craig Franklin, the University of Queensland's croc expert, says, why
would you do that rowing in a place where it's
(02:05):
the natural habitat of the world's largest species of crocodile
million and arguably the most dangerous. Why would you do it?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
What would you do it?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It'll make you row faster?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
There is that.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I'm not thinking more of the crocodiles, but just the distance.
Why the hell they've got it In Brisbane. The Brisbane
River which had rowing clubs because I know that because
when I lived in Brisbane, I used to row on
the Brisbane River and canoe on the Brisbane River.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Why aren't they just doing it in Brisbane?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Are they Brisbane Games or they Queensland Games?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Don't they like to spread them around?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Five hundred CA's is miles away? This is the DoBeS
that run this.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Ca Maybe they're having brandon the sailing events on the
Brisbane River, perhaps.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Sailing Morton Bay. Brisbane is a perfect city for the
Olympic Games. I just don't understand why they would put
it five hundred k's away from the city.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Maybe for funding they need to make it look like
we're going to get tourism to all kinds of places
around the state. I'm just speculating that. Maybe that's why.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
The damn fools that run this country, why.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Don't they do it in a dam well?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
You know it just it makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You've been a rower, you said, yes, you to me.
What creatures have you seen in the Brisbane River? None?
I got a crab so brown? You got crabs in Brisbane?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I got a crab.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
That's when you're out of step with all the other
rowers out of out of stroke, and the or digs
in and you get thrown out.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Of the boat.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
So you got thrown into the water.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
No, I didn't know. I got smashed in the head
by the oar.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It hurts, and then they throw you out.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Is that because you're run on the race? No?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
The force because you're in an eight I was in
an eight man crew. You're rowing along and if you're
out of stroke, the or digs in and because it's
out of stroke with everyone else under your India ribs
and lifts you.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Out of the boat and throws you out of the boat.
It's crab.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh, I see, that's what the crab was.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Remember Sally laid down. Sally, she gave up to avoid
a crab. She that's why she laid down, so her
head wouldn't get.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Taken off because she got out of time. I thought
she just got tired.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
She gave she gave up.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Can you get back into the rhythm if.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You're once one?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And that's why all our teams blew up, because you
have to row and row until you die.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
If you're in a rowing eight.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well, if you get out of step, out of time,
you can't reclaim it. You just have to stop rowing.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I don't think I've ever seen anyone reclaim it from
a crab once that or digs in and that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Really, did you take pleasure in it rowing?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
That's very good? Yeah, I like it. I like rowing.
I paddle every day.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
On the solitary. I didn't see it as a team guy.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I didn't mind it so much.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
But rowing, by and large, you've got to adjust everyone else.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
And did you like being told what to do? Because
I know you have joined an older sailing crew and
you don't like being yelled at and told what to do.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well, they're just old cranky blikes to just yell at you,
look at.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You, right. That's called having someone in charge. And you
don't like having someone in charge of the Jones Man.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And these guys because they've got no filter.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
But the other thing is they're all captains of industry,
so you know, one owns a very successful appliance business
and they're all multi multi millionaires. And then there's me
and I'm just there because I do like to sail,
and it's nice to sail on Sydney Harbor. It's an
opportunity to sell these old eighteen footers that were round.
They still go to these days, but we don't have them.
(05:22):
These are the old ones, not the moderns. And from
they used to bet on them in the harbor in
the thirties. But these old guys, they just yell at
each other. One day, I'm sitting there just eating my
little birch of musley because it takes about five hours
to set up the boat. So I'm eating my birch
and musley, and Bob, who's on our crew, is there,
and there's another guy another talking about his uncle Bob.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
That's another thing. All these guys are called Robert or Bob.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
So this other guy called Angry, and there's no shortage
of blokes will tell you how it's done.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So this guy's angry. As I'm sitting bircher musley.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
He goes, if my uncle Bob was here, he'd tell you,
blokes how to set this boat up.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And he just droned on and my eyes were glazing over.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Then my Bob from the crew looks at Angry. He goes,
and you know what this Bob guy says. I mean,
this angry guy says it, Well, you're not my uncle
Bob taught me. And then my Bob said that you're
an asshole, and you know when you Inhale Musly, I
put it.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
To you, so I started choking, I know, But I
put it to you that anyone saying, hey, go over
and pull that rope, you'd be outraged because no one's
the boss of you. You're not good at teams.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
No, I am good at teams, and I'm good at
taking direction, but when it's the dopes that run the country.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I think you've just answered my question.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
So I would be yelling at Brisbane at the crocs.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Who's the president of Bristo. I'm not sure, Palichet, she
cocked it up because you didn't want to do it.
Who's the new one.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That I don't know? But you speaks so charmingly and
there's such an informed manner. We should be on the
Olympic committee.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Just put it in the Brisbane River for God's sake,
you idiots.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
