I turn the page and there I am, in an instant, back in time staring at an awe inspiring example of nature’s way … There HE WAS, an eleven foot! salt water croc named “Sweetheart“ . His size suggests he lived to be anywhere between 70 and 80 years old. Some even say it’s possible that he was hatched in the late 1800s and was already a large adult by the time the first missionaries made their way into the north of Australia. A page from my travel journal in the city of Darwin, in the Northern Territory … (seen from this side of the hemisphere that’d be ‘down under’). It’s where I learned that a ‘mob’ was more than one, and I was (and hopefully always would be) called a ‘Shiela’.
hey Sheila, love the peek into your Aussie journal!
