It's a sad day. The original crocodile hunter, Malcolm Douglas (age 69) has died today after crashing his 4WD into a tree on his property near Broome.
Mr Douglas was one of Australia's foremost crocodile experts. He owned and ran the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Farm in Broome (see photos of Brayden below learning about crocs in Broome on our trip around Oz) as well as his wilderness reserve outside of Broome where he lost his life.
He is also well known for his many wildlife documentaries and films, and his passionate and sometimes controversial opposition to commercial development of his beloved Kimberley.
Malcolm leaves behind wife Valerie and two adult children, Lachlan and Amanda.

This looks great! I didn’t hear the news about Malcolm until reading this and thanks for the tip re: games for the kids. I’m checking out the Paul Lamond website now for our trip to Queensland, as we have a 5 hour flight and then drive to the Goldcoast from Brisbane.
ReplyDeleteDo you have kids equipment hire companies on your website? I thought this may be something you could add if you don’t.
We’re hiring a pram the same as the one that we have at home (it's a double for twins), for a weekly rate of $65 plus $20 delivery which I know may sound a bit extravagant but I can’t imagine going to the theme parks without one and our pram is too heavy to take on the plane.
They’re also throwing in a box of toys for $12 for the week. Here are a few sites:
