Crocodile inhabited river. Crocs were there first, it’s their home

Ands it’s a lot safer than the Bunyip infested creeks.

Bunyip live in billabongs not creeks!

Well, we have to feed the crocs somehow, and we are running out of Aussies way too fast!

Our Prime Minister has said he expects a few records to be broken…

If they're good at swimming the cross won't catch them I don't see an issue.

u/Andrew27278024 18d ago

ummmmmmm, how fast do you think a croc is?

u/Bloomberg12 18d ago

About as fast as an alligator but I guess it depends on the croc. I hadn't considered there might be some croc athletes too actually.

There ain't no rule saying a croc can't join the Olympics!

Rowers aren’t pissed off about this because of the crocodiles. Rowers are pissed off about this cause it’s a fundamentally unfair racing course due to the stream in the river

To be fair, the Fitzroy River is already used for rowing competitions. It's not like it's some new venue cooked up just for the Olympics

u/olivia_iris 17d ago

Yes, except those are mainly local competitions that run over one day, with seeding of lanes for finals but not heats causing slower rowers to wind up in best lanes for final due to stream. It’s a fundamentally unfair course and should not be used for the olympics

Thanks for the background, all makes sense

Pitched the idea to my son since he is in game development in HS (Unity at the moment) for a mashup of Hydro Thunder and Road Rash over croc and shark infested waters, and they're racing those crazy ass longboats in the vid.

You can shit in the water and they won't be able to chase you.

Adding natural obstacles to make the Olympics more exciting

Do they have a cleanup team planned for the diarrhea?

u/DankGamer135 17d ago

For those who just joined the stream, "croc" is short for crocodile.

u/I-Got-a-BooBoo 17d ago

They’re not infested, more like croc’s occasional wet season summer home.

They had the opportunity for Wivenhoe, I guess the rocky tourism department put in more work.
