About 1977, starting at Fitzroy Crossings main attraction !

The one and only attraction: The Crossing Inn Pub!

 My best Pig Hunting mate was visiting me from Collie, so we dropped into the Crossing Inn for a few beers.

 At Pub closing time we headed for a Camp site I knew of just past Geikie Gorge near Brooking Springs old vegetable garden to Chuck down our Swags.

 The Brooking Springs Vegetable Garden was located right near the Fitzroy River for a good reason, an endless supply of fresh water.

 Well in the morning my mate (unusually woke me up) I was usually awake and up just before the Sun, even now.

 He cheerfully told me he was going for a walk and there was a Crocodile in my Swag!

 Of course I thought he was joking, and went back to sleep only to wake up about a half hour later and find a Crocodile cuddling right up to me right alongside me in my Swag !

 It was a bit over a metre long ! with razor sharp teeth that could do a lot of damage 

right alongside me to keep warm, obviously !

 When my mate came back the air was blue with my cursing him ! 

 Of course he had told me, but I didn’t believe him, so off he went on his walk !

 In retrospect he was probably laughing thinking pay back ! 

 I have had just about everything in my SWAG in The Kimberley.

 Nasty deadly Snakes, nasty Scorpions, nasty centipedes, nasty Spiders, nasty Ants.

 Once on Old Cherabun I was woken by a large Black Pig ! grunting within touching distance ! he got the .303 treatment. 

 Dingoes used to come very close too, but the Crocodile was an unexpected first.
