The mad reverser and other weird Australian tales

Sydney traffic police arrested a man for reversing 40 km along the road to Melbourne.
He has been charged with "reversing further than necessary ".
He was trying to go back in time.
A few kilometres away, a lady from Turramurra, a well-to-do area in the south of Sydney, captured a little crocodile that was having a swim in her private pool, without a bathing cap.
The animal didn't take kindly to this and so she tied its jaws up with rope. It missed being made into handbags by the skin of its teeth.
