Crocodiles

Plan To Blast

SLIM, bespectacled New Zealander, Les Walsh, 39, arrived in Bris bane recently on his way to New Guinea to shoot crocodiles.

He said he would have two native boys with him to harpoon the wounded croc, and drag it alongside the boat. His base for his expe dition will be about 100 miles west of Port Moresby.

He will hunt the crocs, at night by boat. A spotlight is fitted on the bow. He said that once you picked one out with the light, you could approach to within 10 feet.
