And that’s not the only danger you’ll face in this wilderness. Ahead are snakes and the most dangerous of all, Australia’s lethal crocodile. 

 

I’m in the searing heat and humidity of Australia’s outback. Water is scarce and the territory is unforgiving. So is this forty-foot drop. This gorge isn’t looking too great. Yeah, it’s probably about forty foot down there. But actually, this tree doesn’t look too bad. And if I could just reach that main trunk, I might well be able to just like monkey down it. And actually, there was a hiker a couple of years ago who got lost. And he found himself on the top of a gorge like this since the only way out was to go down the tree. And he went through it. He managed it and he got out. It’s a risky climb, so I’m roping up just in case. I’ve just got to get my legs around this tree trunk.
