MAN HIT BY FLYING BOAT
26 Jun 2011 Sunday Territorian By MEAGAN DILLON
SLASHED BY PROPELLER IN ‘HORRIFIC’ CRASH A MAN is lucky to be alive after he was hit by the propeller of a boat as it flew over his own boat at a Top End fishing spot yesterday.
[St Johns Ambulance operations manager Craig Garraway] said the pair were setting crab pots from their boat at Saltwater Arm near the mouth of the Adelaide River — 30km east of Darwin — about 10am. Another boat came around the corner at speed and slammed into the stationary boat.
‘‘It went straight over the top,’’ Mr Garraway said…

Okay, get the picture? I don’t want to miss a thing and must subscribe immediately.
The heavyweight article about ‘Sampson’, Australia’s most obese pet, is a winner. The Labrador bends the scale needle to 85kg. “He is too heavy to be exercised. His bulging bloodshot eyes are the result of fatty tissue around his head as well as high blood pressure.”
On the way to the Noonamah International Rodeo site, 43 kms south of Darwin, we stop at the Coolalinga servo so Ben can put a little fuel in the truck. 942.07 litres. $1477.31. Between the petrol station and the highway runs a section of pipeline.
The Amadeus Basin, 300 clicks west of Alice, to Darwin Mainline stretches 1513 km. One heck of a long tube carrying high-pressure natural gas. It’s probably just another day to be overwhelmed by big numbers as a quick look at cattle station sizes show this pipe runs through or alongside properties between 100 000 and 1 600 000 hectares, you know, the ones that take 2 days to drive to the front gate to check the letterbox.
- We move from the Palms City Resort waterside, city-side digs to Frogs Hollow backpackers.
