Cyclone Surfing In FNQ

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.


Join us as Taz welcomes us to his farm in Innisfail, serving up a
platter of unforgettable tales that showcase the wild adventures
and close calls that define his life. Subscribe now to Proper
True Yarn Podcast for an unforgettable storytelling experience.
