Victorian Professor Explores The Wild Wonders Of Hinchinbrook Island

January 28, 2025

An Associate Professor at La Trobe University, Hamsa Puthalakath has recently found himself “living the life” exploring the waterways of Hinchinbrook Island.

“I have been living the life over a large swathe of this piece land called Hinchinbrook Island and its territorial waters, flush with creatures young and old, beautiful and beastly, tasty and not so tasty,” shared Mr. Puthalakath.

Originally from Melbourne, the change of scenery, paired with a good old Hinchinbrook crocodile sighting, has left Mr. Puthalakath breathless, and he believes many more people should embark on a journey north.

“Folks, what are you waiting for? Hit the road to Hinchinbrook with your hook, line and sinker!”
