  1. Cassius, world’s longest saltwater crocodile in captivity dies The 5m saltwater crocodile, thought to be more than 110 years old and weighing more than a tonne, is remembered as being a “beloved mate”. https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/animals/cassius-worlds-longest-saltwater-crocodile-in-captivity-dies/news-story/2a2ee53c5c14509570a5919b8094db26
  2. Young boy sitting on the bonnet of an early motor vehicle submerged in mud in Rankin Street, Innisfail in 1925. The street is covered in mud and water from the flood which hit the town in March 1925. The car is a Ford Model T between 1917-1927.
  3. 1978 Ford Falcon Cobra In the US, the impressive high-performance tire shredders were extinct by 1978. While the Mustang was now a Pinto-based econocar and the Torino GT was history, in Australia, Ford released an exciting muscle car that oozed Shelby vibes. Based on the Falcon XC Hardtop, the Cobra received a bespoke Sno-White paint with blue Le Mans-style twin stripes and a series of aesthetic upgrades that made it look far more aggressive than its standard counterpart. Under the hood, it hid either the 351-ci (first 200 cars) or the 302-ci (last 200) Cleveland V8, capable of 217 and 202 hp (SAE net), respectively. Far cooler and more potent than the performance-looking, US-built Mustang King Cobra could run the quarter mile in the low-17-second range. While that wasn't particularly impressive, especially when compared to earlier Aussie muscle cars, by 1978 standards, it was more than adequate for a performance-oriented ride.

  6. Maggie, a blonde city girl, marries an Australian dairy farmer. One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, farmer John says to Maggie, "The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today. I drove a nail into the 4 by 2 just above the cow's stall in the barn. You show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?" Then the farmer leaves for the fields. After a while, the artificial insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door. Maggie takes him down to the barn. They walk along the row of cows and when she sees the nail, she tells him,"This is the one ... right here." Terribly impressed by what he thought just might be another dizzy blonde, the man asks, "Tell me lady, how did you know this is the cow to be bred?" That's simple. By the nail over its stall", Maggie explains very confidently. Then the man asks, "What's the nail for?" She turns and walks away, and with complete confidence, says, "I guess it's to hang your trousers on."
