| [0-1:59.930] | For years, the Solomon Islands have been home to legends of massive saltwater crocodiles |
| [00:05.680] | Separating fact from fiction, |
| [00:07.700] | the goal of the Castaways team was to capture evidence |
| [00:11.150] | that huge crocs were living on these little-known islands |
| [00:14.260] | Braving the highseas, |
| [00:15.700] | cameraman Wade Fairley made the 1,000-mile crossing from Australia to the Solomons |
| [00:21.240] | The Solomons are a chain of almost a thousand remote islands |
| [00:25.600] | Wade would need the freedom of a boat |
| [00:26.670] | to stand a chance of finding these mysterious crocodiles |
| [00:29.960] | Joined by producer Mark Brownlow, |
| [00:32.130] | they started their two-week expedition in the Western Provinces |
| [00:35.860] | With few scientific leads,they would have to rely on local knowledge |
| [00:40.460] | The crocodile tales began, interpreted by Wade, a fluent pidgin-speaker |
| [00:45.700] | Following the tip-off of the four-metre tail-less crocodile, |
| [00:49.190] | they decided to track him down that night, |
| [00:51.460] | when these reptiles are most active |
| [00:53.500] | To minimise disturbance, |
| [00:55.090] | they scanned the mangroves with infrared light, invisible to crocodiles |
| [00:59.800] | Aside from a mysterious splash, |
| [01:01.960] | the only confirmed sightings were juveniles |
| [01:05.120] | Where were the adults? |
| [01:06.870] | Over the next two nights, |
| [01:08.360] | the tail-less croc continued to elude them |
