Big olive

[longqi]

Did anyone ever discus how big the olive was in the picture of an olive trying to drag a wallaby up a rockface in Katherine was

There is some discussion about whether or not olives should be included in the big 5 rather than scrubbies

I think that would be the most impressive olive Ive ever heard of but not easy to guesstimate its size

 

[Raddy318]

was it a real picture? or a photoshopped one?

 

[longqi]

Pretty sure it was a real photo taken a few years ago from a tour boat in the gorge

thanks guys, i was wondering where she got too.

 

[Sezzzzzzzzz]

Thats a massive snake!!

 

[longqi]

I think it must have been 16ft - 5 metres minimun

But thats just a guess

It's quite funny, I'm pretty sure Karijini have tried to claim that pic was taken there. Just one of those stories I suppose where many people claim the origins, much like the BHP eating a goanna!

You can't see the whole snake but compared to the wallaroo, it must be well over 25 foot.. I had no idea they could reach that size.. Does anyone no what the biggest recorded is?

 

[longqi]

I dont think it was quite 25ft really
But someone must have got reasonably accurate guesses??

I'm pretty sure that was taken in the Kimberly's, where are the Karijini Andrew?

taken in the kimberley

 

[Darlyn]

Thanks for that. If the wallaby was dead wouldn't it just move down to eat it? Why
would it need to haul it up? Hmmm.....

Bloody awesome animal just the same.

I would have guessed about 15-16ft also, impressive snake!!

Stone was telling me that they run a tape over on they found in the kimberley that went 5.5m,so up to that size would be quite believable.
cheers
