By day he’s a father of two, by night he’s a super hero patrolling the seedier streets of Brisbane as “Captain Australia,” fighting crime armed only with a flashlight, cell phone and video camera:

``During one patrol, I stopped two sexual predators from taking advantage of a very drunk woman at a taxi rank,’’ he said.

``Unfortunately, I was unsure of my ability to conduct a citizen’s arrest and the two predators ran away before the police arrived. But I was able to prevent a near-certain sexual assault.’‘

Captain Australia won’t reveal his identity, but is adamant he is just a regular Queenslander fighting evil in his beloved Brisbane.

``Evil triumphs when good men do nothing,” he said. “I want to inspire a new generation to stop using apathy as a shield.

“People don’t know how to react to my costume it shocks and amuses them.’‘

It’s a little nutty, sure, but it’s also very sweet and I for one, salute his efforts. He’s making his world a better place, right?
