Publican taken by croc? THE small Cape York community of Laura is mourning the death of local publican Kevin Darmody after he was likely killed by a crocodile after falling into the water on Saturday. The owner of the Peninsula Hotel in Laura was fishing in the Lakefield National Park with a mate – something he had done dozens of times before –
when he vanished. His shouting was heard, along with water splashing. When his mate rushed over, he was nowhere to be seen. But a large goanna on the bank could be the reason he ended up in the water. Hear from Kev’s family and friends in our special tribute to “Stumpy” on Pages 4 and 5 of this edition.
