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 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? ;)

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.

A burst water main created a 25-metre hole that buried two parked cars and a power pole and caused a landslide into Cooper Park.
I was particularly impressed with photos taken from a helicopter. You will see them at the end of the post.

You have probably seen this picture. Now we have the story.
During the extinction of bushfires in Australia the firefighters found a koala who managed to escape fires. They gave him water and took it to the animal refuge.
The vets noticed that its paws were damaged by fire. But now everything seems to be fine for Sam the Koala. His paws were taken care of.
The pictures are after the jump.
By the way, we’ve already posted an entry about another rescued koala

Because of infernal heat in Australia this small Koala hid in the shed to wait there till dusk.
The people that lived there had noticed her and give her a cold bath :)
