In this week’s gripping episode of the Tonksy Media Podcast, we sit down with Damian “Wildman” Duffy — a man who was quite literally born into chaos. His life began in the shadow of one of Australia’s most violent and infamous moments: the Milperra Massacre, a deadly shootout between the Comancheros and Bandidos motorcycle clubs. His father, a Comanchero involved in the massacre, was sent to prison for the first five years of Damian’s life.

With a childhood marked by abandonment, instability, and trauma, Wildman was shuffled between relatives, bounced from school to school, and never truly felt like he belonged. At 17, he joined the Australian Army hoping to find structure — but even there, the bullying continued and the feeling of disconnection deepened.

But Damian had a dream. A wild, dangerous, childhood dream — to work with crocodiles. And he made it happen.

From the heavy metal scene in Brisbane to remote crocodile-filled rivers in Far North Queensland, Wildman’s journey is one of grit, rebellion, and raw survival. He opens up about the day he was bitten on the shoulder by a crocodile during a boat tour with 26 terrified tourists on board, and how that moment didn't break him — it built him.

This episode is a raw, unfiltered look into the life of a man who’s faced the odds, stared down trauma, and carved out his own wild path.

If you’ve ever felt like you were born into a storm — this one’s for you. 🌪️🐊
