A fisherman risked his life for…a passion for alcohol.
He managed to win two cases of bourbon by jumping onto a log racing through a flooded river populated with crocodiles…while completely nude.
The tiler, wishing to remain anonymous, navigated the makeshift raft for approximately three minutes before scrambling back onto a boat.
“I had a few beers and thought it was a great idea at the moment,” he remarked.
Witness Billy Innes mentioned that his friend was unperturbed by the threats of drowning or the possibility of being consumed by a saltwater crocodile, which are plentiful in the river.
“It was really funny,” he stated.
The thrill-seeker was camping at the Daly River when he accepted the wager.
“Massive trees were crashing down the river,” Mr. Innes noted.
“It was quite a spectacle. Someone challenged him to hop onto one of the logs and paddle across the river.”
In April 2009, Keith Parry, age 20, met a tragic fate while attempting to swim across the Daly River in search of more beer.
