Author: Aussie takes third in paper plane champs (Go TEAM!)
An Australian university student has won a bronze medal at a paper plane world championships event in Austria, following an intense two-day weekend display of aerodynamics.
Dylan Parker, 21, outclassed more than 250 paper plane enthusiasts from 83 countries to place third in the long distance category at the Paper Wings World Finals in Salzburg, Austria.
The Canberra student threw his plane – made from a single sheet of A4 paper – an impressive 40.78 metres.
Fellow Australian James Norton was a favourite to take out the longest airtime category, until his paper plane hit a roof fixture in the competition hanger, sending his gold medal hopes crashing to the ground.
What a gutsy effort from the Australians!! Well done guys.
Beach croc sighting crumples
Police were called to an Adelaide beach this morning when there were reports of a crocodile at Glenelg.
Police say they received several calls from the public who spotted the reptile.
Officers from the Water Operations branch found the creature at about 10:00am.
They say it posed no threat to the public because it was made of papier mache.
Who let the papier mache crocodile loose on a poor unsuspecting public? They’re really dangerous too! 
Police watch for cheap undies (as you do!)
Adelaide police are looking for people who may have been offered underwear at a discount price.
They say thieves stole a large amount of underwear from shop in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs at the weekend.
Between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, 30 bodysuits and other items of underwear were stolen from the shop in Glen Osmond Road at Eastwood.
Police think the offenders may try to sell the goods cheaply.
I hope when the police found the culprits they didn’t yell “drop ‘em” as that could’ve been embarrassing!
