I observed this snake in a log on the way to Edith Falls. You can see his head if you look closely in the top right portion of the circle of the hollowed out stump. Posted by Picasa

Just before we reached Darwin, we stopped at a pub where there was this guy, Charlie the Water Buffalo. This beast starred in the first 2 "Crocodile Dundee" movies and was stuffed following his death in 2000. Posted by Picasa
