Will Chaffey was just eighteen when he went to Australia to work and travel around the country. There he met a fellow adventurer named Jeff, an enigmatic wanderer and expert on reptiles. With funding from Australian Geographic magazine, the two devised a plan to explore the remote Prince Regent River, Australia's Grand Canyon, in a trek so dangerous it had never been attempted before. They crossed the inland desert to reach the tropical northwest coast, home to the saltwater crocodile, a predator descended virtually unchanged from the age of dinosaurs and a man-eater--recently, a young American woman visiting the coast had been taken by a croc exactly where the two expected to end their hike. But they learned that in the wild, chance or the smallest miscalculation can lead to disaster. Passing through harsh, primeval country, shadowed by Aborigines whose sacred sites they may have violated, and physically worn down, they found themselves locked in a life-and-death struggle when their food ran out and, unable to leave, they were stalked by a hungry crocodile. In the tradition of Into the Wild, Swimming with Crocodiles is the riveting story of a young man seeking his own truth and finding adventure within the awesome, unforgiving power of nature. Filled with fascinating detail about Australia's strange and sometimes deadly wildlife, it is at once the affecting account of a journey into adulthood and a hair-raising epic of survival. australia,australia and south pacific,biographies,crime and criminals,general,memoirs,nature,specific groups,sports and outdoors,sports and recreation Crime & Criminals, Arcade Publishing<
