ONE way to get the heart
pumping.
Four unlucky Irish tourists were
forced to spend a fearful night in
the arms of a tree in Darwin, after
their boat capsized.
The quartet were fishing for
mud crabs in Darwin Harbour
when their boat was struck by a
wave, which caused their humble
craft to capsize.
Fearful of what lurked unseen
below the murky waters, the four
quickly made their way to the
mangroves and scaled the tallest
tree they could find.
"They were bitten savagely by
sandflies and mosquitoes and
were very worried about being
eaten by larger things,” said the
Director of CareFlight, Ian Badham.
After an anxious night watching
crocs circle, the tide finally went
out, allowing the men to get back
to their boat and activate their
emergency beacon for help.
