This is what passes for front page news here in Mission Beach. A four metre long Amethystine Python (which can get up to eight metres in length) caught, killed and swallowed a wallaby in about 50 minutes flat. It all happened in the school playground which is right next to our caravan park and the teachers let the kids out so they could take pictures with their iPhones. Apparently the local pythons are known for eating the odd cat and chicken as well.
Meanwhile... I was updating the park map and working on other marketing materials. And we have a about seven French campers staying with us at the moment so it seems all those French lessons courtesy of Alexia and Vanessa were not such a waste of time after all. "Ou est le barbecue?" "C'est ici, à côté de la piscine et le squelette de wallaby."
