Paper Claims `Survivor' Site Found

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Crocodiles, leeches, wild pigs and nettles are among the native flora and fauna awaiting contestants in the next ``Survivor,'' an Australian newspaper claimed Friday.

Friday's edition of the respected newspaper The Australian reported that the second installment of CBS' popular show will be filmed in a remote valley near Blencoe Falls, on the Herbert River more than 1,100 miles north of Sydney. The nearest town is Mount Garnet, 75 miles away.

The newspaper did not say how it had determined the location, which the network has kept secret.

``We're not going to comment about the location, no matter what the report is,'' CBS spokesman Gil Schwartz said Friday.

``Survivor: The Australian Outback'' is scheduled to premier after the Super Bowl on Jan. 28.

In the first ``Survivor,'' aired this summer, 16 contestants were cast away on an island off the coast of Malaysia with the winner collecting $1 million.

In Australia, the newspaper reported that security was extremely tight on roads leading into two remote farms. ``In scenes less Survivor and more Mad Max, attempts were made to run The Australian's car off the public road,'' it reported.

Les Hiddins, an Australian author known for books on survival in the Outback, described the remote valley as ``a pleasant environment,'' and said the crocs are not man-eaters.

Bar owner Mick Dunne of the Mount Garnet pub agreed that survival would be tough but by no means impossible.

``If they are down at the (valley) bottom they'd find it very, very hard with stinging nettles,'' he said, adding that there would be ``a few crocodiles and barramundi'' - a fish prized for its tasty white flesh.

``Even I'd survive, though I'd probably be voted out in the first week,'' Dunne told The Australian.
