Come do it in the Sputh Alligator or the Adelaide River that will get everyone rowing hard Edit: Upon reading the article it’s Rockhampton so it’s plausible. The bigger issue appears to be the distance from Brisbane city itself. Still crocs down there are so rare you’re more likely to be done in by a shark. Let’s have articles saying world surfing championship to be hosted in shark infested ocean
