Read the full storyLane Pizzi might be a first-time reader of the Hinchinbrook newspaper, but he’s already proven he’s got what it takes to Catch Colin! At just 8 years old, Lane gave our sneaky croc a real run for his money, spotting him in 20 minutes flat.
With a keen eye sharpened by a love of fishing and the great outdoors, Lane is no stranger to tracking things down. Whether he's reeling in fish, exploring outside or racing to victory (like he did in both of his recent cross-country wins), Lane is clearly someone who doesn’t give up easily.
Although this was Lane’s first time flipping through the paper, it definitely won’t be his last. While he doesn’t have a favourite section yet, he certainly enjoyed the challenge of finding Colin. His top advice? Colin needs to up his game and make it really hard next time.
A big thanks to Lane’s nanny for helping him submit his entry and sending in the photo, and of course, a huge congratulations to Lane for catching Colin.
Special shout-out to 2nd snapper Rachele Lazzaroni, who also found Colin but just wasn't quick enough this time!
Well done, Lane! I'm heading back to the swamp to rethink my hiding strategy... until next time, later 'gators!
