## Resource

On today's episode we cover the incredible survival story of Val Plumwood - an Australian woman who was attacked by a massive saltwater crocodile in 1985 and somehow survived. The waters of Kakadu National Park are not for the faint-hearted. Hear all about this and other Australian crocodile attacks - these stories would have Bob Katter in a coma.
