People pay money to do this.

Man, that looks like fun, even without Miss Bikini-chick. And it is just a 3,075 kilometre drive away. (Each way!)

So, what are you doing in your holidays?

Boxed lunch?

Do not want.

It's not that scary. After all, you can hear it coming for you by the ticking inside of it.

This is kind of like cyber dating. Cage=monitor screen.

I wonder if the crane operator can accidentally lower the cage too deep and drown the swimmers if careless? Think the swimmers can open the top hatch from the inside? I'd be more nervous of that than of being close to that croc. How skilled/attentive is the crane operator?

Huh. And I thought it was cruel for my daughter to wave a chunk of steak in front of my dog's nose and then pull it away.....

my reaction was similar. A cruel tease? or animal "enrichment"?

I go with "enrichment" if they get to eat a small child every now and then.

Do you have to pay extra for Miss Bikini Chick to go in the tank with you? And can you pay for the special "Down Under" service? :P

Sounds like someone wants to get eaten.

Wait just a munching moment, a couple of weeks ago it was a polar bear climbing into an arctic bus, now we have people being served up to salties. . . Is this some sort of conspiracy to turn us all into "long pigs" (or "hairless goats" if you are smaller)???
