Is this our dumbest tourist?

A 40s Victorian was caught swimming in front of a crocodile trap at Koolpin George, Kakadu National Park. The park, with a 3.5-meter saltwater croc has been caught in that trap this year, was forced to close after the capture. Mr Cotter, an occupational health and safety officer who took the photo, said that it was unbelievable to see such a "maniac" swimming in the pool, risking his life. Furthermore, the photo posted has raised rangers' hackles. They said that whoever found damaging Parks and Wildlife property could be fined up to $1000.

What a crocodile enthusiast! Should him be blamed or complimented for his extraordinary bravery? Anyway, one should not do such deed as it not only jeopardize his/her own life, but also rage others. Nonetheless, the authority of the National Park should have implemented stricter watch on the pool's surrounding to prevent anybody from getting into the pool.

Natural disasters are hard to be determined and detected. What we can do is be ready of all the time especially for Australians as they have experienced earthquakes decades before. They should have knowledge on how to react when the calamity strikes instead of being panic.

Australian news- Miraculous survivor

A 9-year-old girl survived from a illegal drug laboratory explosion at 15th July when she was having a bath in her Perth home during that night. Police after the incident revealed the details where the girl was just about two metres away from the scene at that instance and they were all feeling unbelievable for the extraordinary and supernatural incident as the girl was not injured seriously. Subsequently, a 39-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman have been charged for attempting to produce illegal drug and allowing premises to be used for that operation respectively. Apparently, the incident had raised police's concern on the booming of the hidden drug production and more to be concerned was that there are quite a number of children living in those clandestine laboratories. Moreover, West Australia Police has uncovered six labs in two days while in a year, they discovered 60 labs. This has become a great issue for police as those laboratories are always a threat for the residents' lives and properties.
