Two tourists said Google Maps mistakenly guided them into the Australian wilderness.

However, this is not the first time hikers have found themselves in trouble after following Google Maps directions. North Shore Rescue, a volunteer search-and-rescue team, said it seemed the hikers were following a nonexistent trail on Google Maps.

  + stars: | 2023-11-08 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
In its regular drought report, the Bureau of Meteorology said last month was Australia's driest October since 2002, with rainfall 65% below the 1961–1990 average. It said every part of Australia except the state of Victoria had below-average rainfall and Western Australia state -- by far the biggest grain-exporting region -- saw its driest October on record. After three years of plentiful rain, the El Nino weather phenomenon has brought hot and dry weather to Australia, with September the driest since records began in 1900. "Areas of (rainfall) deficiency have generally expanded and become more severe in south-west Western Australia, south-eastern Queensland, and parts of the Top End in the Northern Territory and far north Queensland. Its long range forecast predicts below-median rainfall through to at least January in northern, western and southern Australia.

☆ Zinc market shifts to oversupply but where's the metal?
  + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Andy Home | Thomson Reuters | Senior Metals Columnist Who Previously Covered Industrial Metals Markets For Metals Week | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
Zinc's relative under-performance is down to a build-up of excess metal as the global market shifts from supply shortfall to widening surplus. It now thinks zinc supply will exceed usage by a hefty 248,000 tonnes with the surplus growing to 367,000 in 2024. Zinc market balance forecasts by the ILZSGSHIFT TO SURPLUSThe zinc market's shift to surplus after two years of supply deficit is down to weaker-than-expected demand and higher-than-expected production. European demand is expected to contract by 1.8% this year due to slowing activity in the construction sector, which accounts for around half of zinc demand in the form of galvanised steel.

☆ People mocked me online for being attacked by a shark, so I started a support group for survivors like me

Dave Pearson survived a shark attack, but faced vitriol online for it afterwards. His isolation led him to found a support group for shark attack survivors, called Bite Club. AdvertisementAdvertisementIt was because the week prior, there had been another shark attack near Newcastle and that girl was still in the hospital. I was attacked by a bull shark and she was attacked by a white shark, but they were both similar sizes. AdvertisementAdvertisementAfter that, whenever I was interviewed for a news story, I asked them to pass on my information to any other shark attack survivors they were talking to.

CNN —An Australian man bitten on the head by a crocodile while snorkeling in the sea off far north Queensland escaped the unusual attack by prizing open the reptile’s jaws. McGowan was rushed to Haggerston, a resort island some 45 minutes away, before being helicoptered to a regional hospital. I’m just grateful it was me and not one of the kids or ladies in the group,” he said in the statement. Saltwater crocodiles can grow up to six meters long and weigh up to 1,000 kilograms, according to Australia Zoo. Crocodiles were sighted on nine occasions in Cook Shire on Cape York since the start of this year, according to the Queensland government.
