A group of dive instructors from Hamilton Island and Airlie Beach travelled north to Hook Island and dived off False Nava. One of [...]

McCulloch the crocodile caused a bit of excitement at the Hamilton Island Wildlife Park recently. Hamilton Island Wildlife sent me these pictures of our resident Salt Water crocodile McCulloch being wrangled in order to give his home an extreme makeover.
