saltwater crocodile in mary river

A bit off-topic, bit I know how birders like a good crocodile yarn. A large saltwater crocodile has taken up residence in the Mary River in south-east Queensland, well south of its normal range. I went to look for it in my kayak, successfully.

Here is the story, which embraces historical accounts of crocodile encounters in this region:

Following a discussion I initiated on birding-aus earlier today about the problem of long URL links being cut in birding-aus posts, I have followed the advice of Peter Shute in putting angle brackets around the URL. Let’s see what happens.

    The link worked fine for me and it was a good read Greg.

    I’ll be even more careful when I’m in that area in June.

    Cheers

    I didn’t put a space between the first “c” and “r” of “crocodile”. The mechanics of B-A did that when it split the URL. I’ll try to remember your suggestion about the closing >

    You have to copy the whole (broken) link, post it into your browser’s window, and then patch up the break. Then it works OK.

    Unfortunately you have put a space between the first “c” and “r” of “crocodile”. In addition to Peter’s suggestions, I suggest also put a space after the URL rather than just “return” to start a new line.

    I have taken the space out of “crocodile”, also taken the space before the closing > and put a space after the closing > and your URL now looks to work.

    It did not work.
