Couple's camping trip turns into nightmare after boyfriend gets bitten by one of the world's most deadly snakes
A British couple's camping trip turned into a nightmare after one of them got airlifted to hospital after being bitten by one of the world's most deadly snakes. Ben Ross, 29, and Georgia Powell, 28, went for a three-day camping trip which got cut short after Ben was bitten by an Eastern brown snake and rushed to hospital. The couple originally expected to go camping on Fraser Island, Australia, a few days later but brought their trip forward a few days so they could explore alone. On their first morning, the pair - who record their travels for YouTube channel geebeetv - woke up early to capture the sunrise with their drone, when it crashed in the sand dunes surrounding them. Ben went to retrieve the drone where he stepped on a "darkish thing" in the long grass. He made his way back down to camp to check his ankle when he saw two fang marks and called the emergency services. Ben said: "We both sort of just sat there frozen for a second, quickly realising that we had no signal to call anyone, and the tide was in so we couldn't access the beach to get back. "I put pressure on my ankle to try and stop the blood flow. "The whole situation was sort of surreal like it was happening to someone else." The couple from Hereford, Herefordshire, were originally supposed to be on a group trip to the island starting on January 27, 2023. But they moved forward the trip so they could have the freedom of exploring the area themselves. Ben said: "We made our way across the ferry and down through the forest tracks, having never experienced off-roading before it was very exciting. "We made it down onto the beach and I carried on stopping along the way to take in the views. "I recently bought a new DJI drone so I was desperate to try it out so I had it tracking us along the beachfront while Georgia drove the truck. "We found a camp spot for the night, and camped there alongside a few dingoes which we knew to steer clear of." In the morning, the couple woke up super early to look at the sunrise on the drone but Ben crashed it into the sand dunes above camp. He said: "I changed into my trainers as it was steep ground in places, as I walked off the sand into the grass, my mind was occupied with retrieving the drone. "I managed to find the drone at the top of the dune and made my way back down, I've watched nature shows my whole life and I'm pretty switched on with keeping my wits about me, especially in Australia. "I'm not sure if it was the adrenaline of getting the drone back …

Aussie police attempt to subdue huge croc after the animal made multiple visits to the neighbourhood
Police bit off more than they could chew after tackling this angry crocodile -- with a towel. Officers were called in after the large reptile moved into a residential area in Fitzroy Crossing, Western Australia. Resident Jaye Bedford captured a clip of a Fitzroy Crossing police officer trying to sneak up beind the croc and subdue it with a towel over its head. But the crocodile had other ideas and thrashed its head violently and whipped the towel away. Officers made several unsuccessful attempts to control the animal before calling in experts Wild Life West, to assist. A Fitzroy police statement revealed that the crocodile was successfully tranquilised and moved to a nearby river system. Jaye filmed a second croc, surrounded by members of the community, as well as police officers and a volunteer from Wild Life West. But the crocodile evaded capture and via a water-filled ditch and made good its escape. The footage was filmed on January 26.
