It was time to move on |
| [00:01.970] |
70 miles to the east, |
| [00:03.880] |
they reached the island of Liapari in the central Solomons |
| [00:07.450] |
Once more, they were regaled by stories of giant crocodiles |
| [00:11.530] |
But there were words of warning |
| [00:13.310] |
Unnerved by tales of man-eating crocs, |
| [00:16.520] |
Mark and Wade headed off in search of the crocodile lake |
| [00:20.310] |
On the way, they passed some sinister sights |
| [00:23.830] |
A skull shrine - evidence of the island's head-hunting past |
| [00:28.120] |
Reaching the lake, Wade and Mark edged as close as they dared |
| [00:32.400] |
Would they see any of these legendary crocs? |
| [00:35.460] |
That afternoon, |
| [00:36.150] |
Wade got his first shot of a modestly sized, two-metre crocodile |
| [00:40.800] |
Despite camping out for three days, they failed to spot anything larger |
| [00:44.980] |
Whatever big crocs were out there did not materialise |
| [00:49.100] |
It was beginning to feel like a wild croc chase, |
| [00:51.670] |
but they decided to push on to new islands |
| [00:54.810] |
A hundred miles east, they dropped anchor in Marovo Lagoon |
| [00:59.640] |
Wade explored the maze of mangroves - prime crocodile country |
| [01:04.320] |
They called in at the local village |
| [01:06.040] |
to ask their advice on where to stake out |
| [01:08.500] |
discovering worrying signs of big crocodiles at large |
