You know you're in Australia when...

While doing some research at work, I came across this case and was delighted by the reminder that I am indeed working in a foreign land:

"An Aboriginal man used a traditional form of harpoon to catch two juvenile estuarine crocodiles in Queensland. He and some other members of his clan ate some of the crocodile meat and froze the rest. The man did not hold a licence, permit, certificate or other authority under the Fauna Conservation Act. He was charged with one count of taking fauna contrary to that Act. A magistrate found that the man's clan had a connection with the land from which the crocodiles were taken which had existed before the common law of the colony of Queensland had come into being and which continued thereafter."
