Bushie meets crocs. John Lever is one of the outback's seriously tough characters. He owns Australia's largest croc farm that's home to 3000 saltwater crocs.
Meet John Lever - adventurer, storyteller, traveller and owner of Koorana Crocodile Farm - and one of the world's foremost experts in the behaviour and management of Crocodylus porosus, the Australian saltwater crocodile. For almost half a century the crocs have fascinated John Lever; he courted, counted, cajoled and captured them as a wildlife officer in the remote waterways of Papua New Guinea, before returning home to Australia to establish the first commercial crocodile farm in outback Queensland. Along the way he has accumulated some great tales - like the time he wrestled an unrestrained croc while flying at 4000 feet - and knows more about the Australian salty than just about anyone.
