We then headed off to the local, a tiny little pub with an 87 year old accordion player, a bagpiper and a fiddler to entertain us.  However, the main entertainment came from Zane and his Italian Crocodile Hunter Recruits.  We picked these three guys up at the hostel and they came to the pub with us, where they and Zane provided us with one of the funniest nights in a pub ever had.  The recruits were dead keen to become true Crocodile Hunters and performed with gusto all the tasks set by Zane.  You can see from all the photos I took how funny I thought it all was.  The highlight was definitely when the band (minus the 87 year old) and the locals came outside into the carpark, played music and taught the recruits to dance…in their underwear!  It was brilliant fun and I was even still sober enough to be able to warn the team about the approaching “Car!”

After the test of strength (press-ups), was the test of balance and ability to drink upside down...

The next step was Endurance. (The bar's owner particularly wanted the recruits to pass this test!)

Next came Bravery. The tough exteriors cracked a little as Zane threw darts. Blindfolded...

The test of bravery was closely followed by the test of Co-ordination.

Then it was outside into the cold for the team briefing for the next step...
