Cops, Crocs & Leopard-Skin Jocks
Wild encounters with crocodiles, mad Territorians, Asian crab poachers, Cyclone Tracy, petty-crooks, the NT police, magistrates, judges and murderers, family members, Fred Brophy and his boxing troupe and all levels of authority.
Meet Roy Wright, an old-style villain and barramundi poacher extraordinaire who, after a lifetime of dodging police, unbelievably goes straight(ish) in a legitimate mud crab business.
Author, Bob Magor, paints a warts-and-all true-life portrait of a bloke with a strong sense of an Aussie fair go, a bit-of-class larrikinism, and a stuff 'em attitude towards authority.
And as for the leopard-skin jocks? A man needs a trademark!

What a bloke , a real [crook] legion. My kind of man, all men should take a feather out of his hat, if more men was like Roy then we would not have the problems we now have in this wimpy country.
