Still was tragic for poor Steve, but he must have known the risks.

Years ago there was an American program that the insurance company, "Mutual of Omaha" did the commercials on, called "Wild Kingdom" with Marlin Perkins as it's host. He would take the viewers to different ecological sites to look at the animal life, emphasizing lions, or cheetahs, or panthers, or elephants - whatever the animal was. But Perkins was luckier or more careful, and was not killed on the show. As he was (part time in each episode) a spokesman for "Mutual of Omaha" I suspect his successful longevity and safety was due to proper care.

I'd still put my money on the crocs.

Crocs v Steve Irwin, now that's another matter.

Would depend on how deep the water was.

Rays v Steve another matter altogether.

GUT, I'm guessing that if there were crocs in the lake, not much would be left of the sharks?

Not sure the two co exist anywhere.

Sharks Baically want oceans. (deep water)

Crocs rivers and swamps and the such. (shallow water)

Were there crocs in it?

Crocs are more up North.

It does have Noah's (Noah's ark = shark) though. Always had Hammerheads and Grey Nurses. Letely a Grea White, just s juvenile though, maybe 10 foot. Think he can't find his way out again.

I've heard visitors comment on how clean Sydney is for a city of its size.

But all tha does is makes me wonder how dirty their city must be.

But I live in the Hunter Valley and the air is pretty clean. Much of the areas around me are devoted to vineyards and horse breeding Tigether with coal mining. Now once coal mining was all underground so didn't contribute much pollution but now it seems to be pretty much all open cut, but at the same time moving further up the valley and away from me.

Even Newcastle, where I work us pretty clean since the steel works shut down.

Did I think to mention that I hate Cities, not sure I could live in one. But Mes Gut grew up in Sydney's Western Suburbs so some Goid things come out of Sydney.

I was lucky enough to grow up in a small town (called Wangi Wangi) on the edge of the most beautiful Lake, where everyone knew everyone.

G'day GUT,

Why is Sydney called "the Big Smoke"? A lot of pollution? Edinburgh used to be called "Auld Reekie" because of it's smell.

Compared to where I live just about everywhere has a lot of pollution.

In Aus any city is "The Big Smoke".

Hate cities.
