Witnesses heard the man “screaming and screaming very loudly” before seeing “a big splash,” a local policeman described.
He went fishing in crocodile-infested waters, local police said on Wednesday: the remains of a missing Australian were found inside two of the reptiles.
Police said the 65-year-old, identified by Australian media as Kevin Darmody, went on a fishing trip in the north-eastern state of Queensland on Saturday with residents of the area.
“The tragic end”
According to law enforcement, the group has repelled an alligator so they can start hunting. Cairns Police Inspector Mark Henderson said witnesses later heard the man “yelling and screaming very loudly, followed by a huge splash”.
The Rangers, armed with rifles, later shot two crocodiles several meters long in Lakefield National Park, where the group had congregated.
The inspector declared that the expertise performed on the crawlers had “unfortunately made it possible to identify the remains of the missing man”, describing it as a “tragic end”.
He was a “very nice guy,” the officer said, a tavern manager from a rural village upstate.
Queensland is “crocodile country,” warned Michael Joyce, the area’s wildlife officer.
“If you’re in the water and especially if you’re in Lakefield, which is specifically designated[as a site]for crocodile protection, you should expect to see crocodiles in those waters.”

The Backpacker takes you on a very special visit to the city’s iconic monument: the Opera House. Created by Jørn Utzon in 1957, inspired by the sailboats that sail in the bay, this stunning architectural building was commissioned forty years later by another architect, Peter Hall. Today, the Sydney Opera House welcomes artists from all over the world, and on its legendary stage plays operas as well as theater or symphonies. After a meeting with the costume designer, Sophie Jouvelard will go on stage to do some singing! And for one of the most beautiful views of the Opera House, head to the Harbor Bridge, this giant metal bridge that symbolizes the city, which spans the bay between Melsons Point and The Rocks, Sydney’s oldest neighborhood, where the Aboriginal people lived. And where the British settlers settled. Today, it is very touristy, and among the restored old buildings, many restaurants and shops have been established.
If Sydney is a cultural and historical city, it immediately positions itself as the capital of sport. Here, we take advantage of the sunrise to swim, surf, ride a bike. For Australians, sport is a true philosophy of life that they practice in communicating with nature and the ocean. And with its 60,000 km of coastline and 12,000 beaches, there is room for everyone! Therefore, nature is naturally the queen with a population density of around three inhabitants per square kilometre. Heading towards Melbourne, give way to enjoying the great outdoors. From spotting wild bush to kangaroos, Sophie Gouvillard also goes to meet residents interested in preserving this fragile nature, and you’ll also learn about the Aboriginal rituals that celebrate this very precious land.

2008 National Apology
It was not until 13 February 2008 that the Australian government, through then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, formally extended its apology to Parliament to Aboriginal people. Quoting our friends, Sister Margaret Kane RSJ of the Little Samaritan Sisters recalled this memory a few years ago when she spoke of Catharsis, relief, and satisfaction, as if the wrongs of the past were finally exposed and acknowledged..
Not just about repentance
The nun also stressed that this day should be marked not only by the seal of pardon, but also by the recognition of all the achievements of the indigenous peoples and the mutual fidelity in their relations.

You recently played your first game. Tell us about your experience, and what difference did you find with French rugby league?
It’s been a long time since I’ve been so excited to play a match, but here rugby league is really a cultural thing and the atmosphere in the stadium can make you want to play. The biggest difference is, I would say it’s a lot more aggressive than in France.
What has been the rhythm of your life since you were in Australia?
I work in a bar with my girlfriend and my schedules are arranged according to training and matches.
How long do you plan to stay there?
Once the season naturally ends we plan to enjoy and discover Australia so I don’t know yet how long I will be staying in Australia.

On Saturday, May 20, residents of North Queensland, Australia certainly didn’t expect to see a ball of fire rip through the sky, leaving a slightly green and yellow trail in its wake. A meteor lit up the sky over this part of Australia before crashing.
Queenslanders didn’t plan on seeing a shower of shooting stars like the Lyrids where you can see up to 20 meteors an hour. However, some were lucky enough to get out just in time. The photos taken by the locals who were lucky enough to see the meteor are impressive.

Then, in a breathtaking display of cosmic fireworks, it descended towards the ground, streaming in a burst of light and reverberating with a sonic boom. “, says the local media The Canberra Times.
The color of this meteor impact comes from a chemical reaction
These cosmic fireworks were actually due to a chemical phenomenon. The green color in the light path comes from the combustion of metals, particularly nickel, which burns in the atmosphere. Richard de Gregg, professor of astrophysics at Australian Macquarie University, shed light on this phenomenon. In fact, the color of the fireball depends entirely on the chemical reaction.
« In this case, I would say the green color you’re seeing is related to nickel burning in the atmosphere, but copper and iron are also possible because they also burn green Richard D. Gray explained.

Passers-by managed to notice a rare phenomenon. On the evening of Saturday, May 20, a meteorite crashed into Earth in eastern Australia, leaving a thick green trail behind. According to the Canberra Times, the light was seen across most of Queensland, including Cairns.
In columns for the Australian daily, Macquarie University astrophysics professor Richard de Gregg explained that “the color of the fireball was a chemical reaction.” According to him, “the green color you see is associated with nickel burning in the atmosphere, but copper and iron are also possible because they also burn green.”
These colors appear when a meteor breaks through the atmosphere, which then turns into a meteorite.
meter long object
On videos posted on social media, there is a shimmering and stretching light, while the meteorite itself did not present any unusual properties.

Australian police on Wednesday took custody of auditing giant PWC suspected of leaking government plans to combat tax evasion by multinational corporations.
PWC Australia has been embroiled in the scandal since it was discovered that one of its partners had made “unauthorized disclosures” about these tax reform plans, which he learned about in secret government meetings.
More than 140 pages of internal PwC Australia emails published by a Senate committee this month proved that international tax partner Peter Collins leaked sensitive information to other company officials.
The Treasury said the emails “highlighted the significant extent of unauthorized disclosure of confidential Commonwealth information”, noting the “wide range” of PwC Australia directors who were aware of this.
“In light of these recent revelations and the seriousness of the misconduct, the Treasury has referred the matter to the Australian Federal Police to consider initiating a criminal investigation,” he said in a statement.
The Australian government maintains that the confidentiality of these meetings is necessary to allow it to consult relevant economic sectors on draft legislation.
Mr Collins was withdrawn from his status as tax agent last November and banned from discussing confidential matters for two years.
Former PwC Australia CEO Tom Seymour resigned on 9 May over the scandal.
PricewaterhouseCoopers’ global network said the case was a clear breach of its ethics.
