The Adelaide River is one of the most crocodile infested rivers in the world . Some of these croc’s are so big they are often described as monster croc’s. 

In today’s episode though , the monsters have two legs and walk on land . In fact , their crime was so awful it seems even the crocodiles weren’t having any part in it.

The day Phu Ngoc Trinh and Ben Mclean met at high school was the start of a friendship that would eventually destroy the lives of four families.

After living out bush a few years back , Huntsman spiders went from being the stuff of nightmares , to ‘oh well at least its not a snake’.
