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.

In Australia, this baby humpback whale was found stranded on a beach. Soon after, it was returned to the ocean. It took several people and a lot of effort but it was all worth it.

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 do you think you see on the photo? If you think that these are birds, butterflies or locusts then you are wrong. The answer is inside the post.
Recently we showed you the pictures of an amazing phenomenon called Cappuccino coast in Cape Town, South Africa. Today you’ll see the pictures of the same phenomenon but in Australia. It’s not cappuccino, but rather latte ;)

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.

These impressive photos were taken in Brisbane, Australia, during a race at the moment when a Mini hit another car and provoked a little scary ‘run for your life’ situation.
The Mini Cooper S rolled along the track, smashed a fence, flew over it and crashed down where the spectators were standing.

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..

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 ))
