Australia is on fire. Literally, in some places. Australia is underwater. Literally, in some places. Meanwhile, in the NT, another example of how dangerous the average day can be in Australia was seen once again when a shark and a crocodile fought over a chicken for lunch. This, of course, is not new, has been seen before and general it is agreed that the shark will lose, unless there is a human in the water in which case lunch will just 'taste like chicken'.
Poisonous spiders? Check. Poisonous snakes? Check. Dropbears? Check. Sharks AND crocs in the river. Right. I'm out.
