HMAS 'Kanimbla' returns home in shadow of Black Hawk tragedy
photo John SheilAustralian troops have returned home after a 45-day deployment on board HMAS Kanimbla.
The 800 soldiers were on stand-by in waters off Fiji during political unrest in the country.
The deployment was marred by the Black Hawk tragedy late last month that killed Townsville pilot Captain Mark Bingley and SAS Trooper Joshua Porter.
Major General Ash Power says those who witnessed the tragedy continued to work professionally.
"They just got on with the job," he said.
"They were quickly into the water to rescue those involved in the accident. They immediately embarked on to the search for the missing soldier.
"They also remained focus on the job at hand, the mission was to be there postured to go in to Fiji if required and they remained focused on the mission so I couldn't be prouder of them."

It's expensive to be a woman
LASHING OUT: At $150 a set they are the smallest - 8mm long - and most expensive fashion look to take-over Adelaide. Each lash costs $3. Read story now
Flying Kangaroo as roadkill, *sobs
IF the Americans gain a stake in Qantas, the flying kangaroo's unique character is likely to become road kill.
Not because of financing plans which will see planes mortgaged, or because of expectations of further cost-cutting or restructuring.
An American stake in Qantas will stuff the Aussie icon because the in-flight experience in the nation that invented the aeroplane is about 20 years behind what we're used to. And they simply don't understand what Australian travellers expect.
Qantas's international economy, much as we love to grumble about it, is almost at business-class level in terms of US carriers, whose contribution to the modern in-flight experience has basically been to bolt wings and a tail on to a Greyhound bus (with a couple of extra toilets down the back).
In-flight entertainment is either very ordinary or works on a pay-per-view basis; the meals are spartan (if they exist); and in-flight service is basic at best. And don't try to order a Bundy and Coke.
Technically, while Qantas might still be majority Australian-owned even if a consortium headed by Macquarie Bank and US private equity group Texas Pacific succeeded in taking control, it would be a takeover that really would take the "Q" out of Qantas.
Texas Pacific, the aviation brains behind the buyout group, might know all about American travellers -- but we Aussies are a very different breed.

What's that I just photographed?
Peter recently captured some 'orbs' of light when he visited an old jail in Freemantle. As he says "At the church in Fremantle Prison,they (orbs) were within the alter area.
As well as a pic of the gallows,which had 42 people hung there over the years,the last of which was Eric Edgar Cooke.
I think I also sent a pic of the cells area with netting at the bottom of the pic,those nets were put there after someone threw themselves off the top floor..." (ps, date on camera is wrong, opps)

NEW Zealand's prowess may lag that of Australia in most sporting pursuits but condom-maker Durex says it chose Kiwis to test its products because they are sexual champs.
Durex said New Zealanders were chosen to test-pilot their wares because they were among the most sexually active and adventurous in the world.
"Kiwis have proven they're a sexually energetic bunch, and therefore it makes sense that a select few will have the chance to try our latest condom innovation, all in the name of research,'' Durex NZ manager Victoria Potter said.
"Durex wants to ensure that its condoms are best meeting the needs of New Zealanders, from delivering on sexual pleasure, to keeping them safe.''
Potential applicants were invited to log on to www.explorersclub.co.nz and say why they believed they were up to the job.
