Malcolm Douglas' Crocodile Park
If you're ever in Broome, visit this crocodile park - it's really worth it! You'll get the "I'm scared"-factor for free observing 5m-crocs basking in the sun which have been caught because they killed a horse...
Feeding tours (highly recommended!) are scheduled daily at 3.45pm. The park is open daily 3.30pm to 5pm.

About Malcolm Douglas
Malcolm revealed more details in an interview recorded by Kabel 1 in July 2002 when he visited Germany:
The best reward for my work is the pleasure my films create for viewers—in Australia since almost 30 and in Germany since about 10 years. —Malcolm Douglas
Douglas is a "real character", with the sort of colourful life many Australians have the courage to lead, not worrying too much about papers and seizing opportunities as they come up.
Malcolm's brother about Malcolm
Stuart Douglas, the younger brother of Malcolm, tells the story of when they grew up in Nauru.
Malcolm had borrowed a spear from the family's houseboy after promising him he would look after it. However, after an attempt at spearfishing , the spear got lodged in a fish and sank to the bottom.
"Malcolm dived and dived and dived and he got it and when he came up, blood started coming out of his ears and nose," recalls Stuart.
But he had promised the houseboy the spear would be okay. [1]
I wonder when he's going to get a proper job. —Malcolm's mum about Malcolm [1]
