Busselton Margaret River Airport has record passenger levels but only a few are actual tourists

Image
 Direct flights between Melbourne and Western Australia's Margaret River food-and-wine region have done little to increase incoming visitor numbers, local tourism operators say.  The Busselton Margaret River Airport, three hours south of Perth, began hosting direct commercial Jetstar flights to and from Melbourne in April. The move was touted as placing the region on the national and international tourism stage. Since then, the airport has facilitated three Melbourne flights per week, with more than 12,000 passengers using the service over the past four months.  Read More: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-16/bsselton-airport-tourist-numbers/101333624

 The adolescent phase of the universe was much more complex than imagined, detailed snapshots of the early cosmos from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal.  "There are many more galaxies with obvious disks, bulges, spiral arms … appearing earlier in cosmic time than we thought," Karl Glazebrook says. Professor Glazebrook and his colleague Colin Jacobs, from the James Webb Australian Data Centre at Swinburne University, are part of an international team known as GLASS, which is looking back at some of the earliest galaxies.

In a statement, TasPorts chief operating officer Stephen Casey said TasPorts, its insurer (Shipowners) and United Salvage had been "working diligently on the salvage effort".

Canberra Raiders prepared to accept NRL's punishment for Ricky Stuart for calling Jaeman Salmon a 'weak-gutted dog'

Image
 Canberra chief executive Don Furner says the Raiders are ready to accept any punishment handed down by the NRL over Ricky Stuart's post-match attack on Jaeman Salmon, which could include suspension from future games. After Penrith's 26-6 defeat of the Raiders, Stuart labelled the Panthers' stand-in five-eighth a "weak-gutted dog" for kicking Tom Starling in the groin. Salmon ran afoul of the Canberra coach while playing with his son as a pre-teen in 2010, reportedly reducing the younger Stuart to tears in an incident that led to a confrontation between the pair's fathers.

Image
 An initial search to find a helicopter that later crashed in the New South Wales Snowy Mountains was called off after the pilot made contact with authorities, a preliminary report has found. The Bell 206 Longranger L-4 was one of seven helicopters travelling on a flying tour from Canberra to Mangalore in Victoria on April 3, when it crashed killing the pilot and passenger. The helicopter's pilot was high-profile businessman and Barbeques Galore company director Peter Richard Woodland (75) and the passenger was his 64-year-old partner. The helicopter had earlier become separated from the group, with a preliminary report from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) revealing an initial search had been called off.
