24 Mar 2009 3:00 AM
Aboriginal actor DAVID GULPILIL hopes to swap movie sets for swamps.
Rifles and four-wheel-drives will take the place of planes and red carpets if the movie veteran realises a new dream to take people hunting.
Mr GULPILIL has teamed up with croc hunter MICK PITMAN .. and elders from his home country in Arnhem Land .. to get croc safaris up and running again in the Northern Territory.
They're taking their fight for the right to run bush safaris to the federal and NT governments.
The Gupulul Marayuwa Aboriginal Corporation will apply next month for a 12-month trial that would only target problem crocs.
Mr GULPILIL'S group hopes to meet with the NT government and present it with the proposal in mid-April .. while a proposal will be sent to the federal government at the same time.
