NT News, July 14th, 2009
A TOURIST drove straight into a river after she mistook a boat ramp for a low-level crossing in the Territory Outback.
The woman, from New South Wales, managed to escape through the windows of her four-wheel-drive and to the safety of the banks as the vehicle was inundated with water.
Police said she had driven down the East Alligator River Boat Ramp, thinking it was Cahill’s Crossing, in Kakadu National Park when the car submerged under water about 9am last Friday.
Brevet Sergeant Ben Higgins said the woman was extremely lucky.
He said the mishap should serve as a reminder to other road users.
“Members of the public need to be reminded that when travelling through the NT it is their responsibility to research the area and be aware of the extreme road conditions, especially that of remote areas,” he said.

Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation took place:
First guy: “You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I would paint every room in the house next weekend.”
Second guy: “That is nothing, I had to promise my wife that I would build her a new deck for the pool.”
Third guy: “Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I would remodel the kitchen for her.”
They continue to fish When they realized that the fourth guy has not said a word, they asked him. “You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?”
Fourth guy: “I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm, gave the wife a nudge and said, “Fishing or Sex” and she said, “Wear sun-block.”
