The local news are very interesting and nothing like what I am used to. Here are some of the titles from the local newspaper, The Northern Territory News, today: "It's official... beer makes you healthy", "Autistic boy's dog stolen from yard", etc... But the best of the best is the front page: Boat runs aground after shark attack. So the most important news of the day is the story about a prawn trawler crew that was forced to make a 20-hour mercy dash to Darwin yesterday after a crewman was attacked by a shark. And they almost didn't make it to shore after their large steel trawler - Xanadu I - got stuck in the mud at low tide and almost rolled on its side less than 50m from docking at Fishermans Wharf. That should even be international news shouldn't it? And if you only read the title and look at the picture you really imagine something completely different from the real story.
