Outback Wrangler star Matt Wright still has the swagger of a Netflix celebrity and successful Top End entrepreneur as he arrives daily at Darwin's Supreme Court with his model wife Kaia.
Each day as his lawyers and crown prosecutors do their own wrangling over legal evidence leading up to Wright's imminent trial, he has sat in the dock in jeans and a series of freshly ironed blue shirts which serve to accentuate his intense blue eyes.
The trial, relating to the fatal helicopter crash that claimed the life of Wright's Netflix co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson during a 2022 crocodile egg-harvesting mission, is scheduled to commence on Tuesday, barring any further delays.
Wright is charged with three counts of perverting the course of justice, with each charge carrying a maximum penalty of ten years if he were to be convicted.
Wright and his wife Kaia, a former model, have two young children: their son Banjo, nearly six, and daughter Dusty, aged two.
