When I saw this, I read 'crocs' as 'orcs'.
Then I realized that that's not Australia; it's New Zealand.

Hey if you look closely at the toads they may be from New Zealand:

I havent seen one quite that big before, (it doesnt quite look too real) but i see them quite alot here. Used to see them alot more in the bush, and since i just bought 4.2 acres in the bush ive seen more than 10 in the past 2 weeks. They are pretty common, but here in Queensland the chances of seeing them carpeting river banks are pretty slim.
Apparently, and i havent tried this, but ive been told that they can only inhale through their mouths and not exhale, so if you stick a full strength cigarette in their mouth like a Winfield Red, they will smoke it in no time flat, and that will kill them. So im told.

How do you live up their with things crawling around like this.
There large enough to take a small child. |
We have big toads around here especially during the wet season, can barely walk around without crossing paths with them. But I've never seen any anywhere near that size.

Give it one day of rain here and you are likely to see that many every minute.

Bit of flooding here and there. The problem felt up this way are that trucks just aren't getting through. So farmers up this way are losing tonnes of produce because they can't ship it anywhere south to the major cities, and our stores are half empty because they haven't been able to restock goods.

I hate to admit it, but the FIRST thing I saw was the DK logo, long before I saw the mic stand, guitar and keyboards.
