The Cooper Creek River in Australia is a good place to find crayfish, but certain times of the year it is literally run over with the nasty things. There are so many that it would take a team of people and shovels to clear them all away.

Beautiful and Rare Phenomenon of Water Glowing (8 pics)

Posted in Pictures 18 Jan 2011   / 6485 views

In the Gippsland Lakes in Australia bioluminescence is a very unique, beautiful, and rare phenomenon that results from a chain of events such as flash floods, storms, and bushfires that triggers a population explosion of one particular type of algae. It is very strange to observe and might make the observer think that were being invaded by another extraterrestrial species.

What Nobody Noticed (2 pics)

This is a very rare Coke poster that was an ad published in South Australia in the 1980s. At least, this is what a guy who sells it on eBay says. The artist who drew this, hid the picture in the Coke advertisement, and the ad went into the market unnoticed. Of course, when the drawing was finally noticed, all posters were at once recalled and the artist was fired and sued.

Money does grow on the trees. Australian RaboDirect bank has proved it by setting up a hilarious experiment. Bank workers chose a tree in one of the Sydney’s city parks and planted real five-dollar bills on it. They also used a hidden video camera to record people’s reaction to the abnormal dollar tree.

The Morning Glory Cloud Must Be the Most Beautiful Cloud (11 pics)

Posted in Pictures 4 Jun 2010   / 6151 views

Some of the photos look as if they were photoshopped but it is only a natural phenomenon, although very rare. It is mostly observed in Northern Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria. As you can see, the cloud looks like a roll. It can be up to 1000 kilometres long, 1 to 2 kilometres high, and can move at speeds up to 60 kilometres per hour.

The morning glory cloud is truly impressive!

This is how ‘spring’ has started in Australia. An unprecedented hailstorm hit Melbourne.
In several hours, it was impossible to drive on the road. In some areas of the city, the water depth on the streets reached half a meter.

EDIT: For those who are surprised to see SPRING instead of AUTUMN. It was written on purpose, that's why it was put into quotation marks..

Deadly Stonefish (20 pics)

I always though of Australia as a great destination to catch some waves and have the rest of your life… The only thing is with all these dangerous animals that inhabits the “promised vacation land”, you should be very careful where you put your foot whenever you are near the coral reefs of coastal Australia, so that this wouldn’t become a “rest in peace vacation” ;)

Recently, Mud Run took place in Peats Ridge, Australia. Professionals and amateurs took part in the Run for 6 and 12 kilometers.
Many of them don’t really know why they “swam” in the mud, but all the participants said they did it for a good laughter and positive emotions ))

1700 beach towels were laid out during a Skin Cancer Action Week event on Bondi Beach on November 15, 2009 in Sydney, Australia.
The event was organized by the Cancer Council which placed 1700 beach towels on the beach – one for each of the 1700 Australians who die each year because of skin cancer.
It’s an original way of reminding people that they have to be careful with sun exposure!

One of the world's longest fences (12 pics + text)

Posted in Pictures 21 Oct 2009   / 6015 views
One of the world's longest man made structures is the Australian Dingo Fence. In fact it is also the world's longest fence ever.
Stretching across two southeastern Australian states, Queensland and South Australia, the Dingo Fence is 5,614 kilometres long.
Please note that this "dog fence" is not really made of dogs. If it was, it would take 5,614,000 dingoes standing nose-to-butt to construct this fence.

There’s a theme park in the Australian city of Darwin where you can swim with huge crocodiles. The attraction is called ‘Cage of death’.
Of course, people who long to try this attraction are put in a glass box, but still, the pictures give shivers, especially when you see the size of a crocodile.
Would you like to experience something similar? ;)

Crocodiles of Adelaide River (4 pics)

Posted in Animals 15 Sep 2009   / 3505 views
Giant six meter crocodiles inhabit the river Adelaide near the city of Darwin, Australia.
Along the river, so-called "jumping crocodile” cruises take place, during which visitors are invited to look at the terrible reptiles - the enormous crocodiles jumping out of water.
Frankly, I was shocked, I did not think that these monsters can jump so high.
