In this riveting episode of Proper True Yarn Podcast, we embark on a journey to Innisfail, far north Queensland, where our gracious host Taz shares remarkable stories from his eventful life on his beautiful farm.

Taz kicks things off with an unforgettable tale involving his brother, who overheard a conversation on a job site. Two individuals were ranking places, and while Gympie received mixed reviews, they declared that there was only one place worse—Innisfail! This humorous anecdote sets the tone for a yarn-filled adventure.

Next, Taz takes us back to a moment of sheer danger involving none other than NRL superstar Billy Slater. During a fishing expedition, an unexpected mishap with Taz's spearfishing gun narrowly avoided a potentially fatal accident. The twist? Billy Slater himself was at the center of this hair-raising incident, back in 2004 when he was at the peak of his NRL career.

But the excitement doesn't end there. Taz regales us with a heart-pounding offshore fishing story. Joined by his mate Az from Back to Basics, they faced towering 10-foot waves after a sudden shift in weather conditions. The daring escape from these colossal waves on the open sea will leave you on the edge of your seat.

As the episode unfolds, Taz shares an astonishing crocodile encounter during a reef tour. Tourists' innocent inquiries about the presence of crocodiles lead to a shocking revelation as an 11-foot croc surfaces nearby. It's a tale of unexpected wildlife encounters that will leave you in awe.

Taz concludes with a suspenseful narrative of a near-boat sinking experience, 20 miles out at sea. Brace yourself for an intense storytelling session that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
