Australian Outback bushman Matt Wright hunts down dangerous crocodiles in the Tropics of Northern Australia and once found and captured, either by hand or by trapping them, the crocs are safely relocated. This is him from a couple of years ago on Channel 7, hunting what is possibly the Worlds Largest Crocodile. Now Hollywood has found him, and he’s the star of his own TV show Outback Wrangler on Nat Geo Wild.

The work Matt does is amazing! And he and his crew does it with such ease – effortlessly – sometimes. Just astounding that Nash is such a relaxed and natural flyer. May we still see a lot of his work – and him – of course!!!
Well done Matt!

Yes Rika,
amazing footage in that first episode. I had heard these stories second hand from mates in the “Top End” of the Territory & had thought that they needed recording. Even if I’d had a mike & recorder the stories I’ve been told would be mind booggling. Only a few weeks after hearing some real hair raising and some side-splittingly funny stories about raiding crocs nest for eggs, here comes Matt wright with his Nat Geo debut show. I see these “Top End” chopper pilots mustering regularly and know they are exceptional, but this footage in show #1 was even better than I had imagined from the stories I’d heard. Unfortunately I did not see the rest of the series as I was busy travelling the Outback. I’ll have to track down the reruns sometime.
Lukey.
