In Adelaide, it's February 28th, here's what is happening. A small pub in far North Queensland has become a hit with tourists thanks to its smoked crocodile on the menu. The L. Eriche Tavern, run by owner's Tory and Allett's music, draws crowds from places like Cairns and Townsville every afternoon. They took over the spot seven months ago after it closed, and now they handle up to 20 orders a week for the unusual dish, which many say tastes, like a mix of chicken and pork. It all started as a joke at the staff Christmas party, but the idea quickly caught on with locals and visitors alike. The musics get their meat from accredited suppliers linked to legit crocodile farms, keeping things sustainable and safe. Diners love the novelty, and it's revived the pub as a community hub. Regular spiel likets their second home, with walls full of local memories. Alex, who grew up nearby, says special events there shaped his life. Meanwhile, just north of Cairns, Hartley's crocodile adventures has run a popular farm
and tourist spot for 24 years. They see over 1,000 visitors on busy days, and demand for crock meat as gourmet food is rising. This month, the state government gave the farm $300,000 from a $2 million tourism package to upgrade facilities and boost experiences. Officials say it's smart backing for regional spots, and experts note crock farming helps conservation worldwide. D&N is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description.
