THE world's top central bankers began arriving in Australia yesterday as renewed fears about the strength of the global economic recovery gripped world share markets.
Representatives from 24 central banks and monetary authorities including the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank landed in Sydney to meet tomorrow at a secret location, the Herald Sun reports.
A FREAK natural occurrence is how stock squad police have described the death of 27 head of cattle struck by lightning on a Tully property.
No bullets were found when Mareeba Stock Squad police inspected fly-infested carcasses on the Ranch Rd farm yesterday afternoon – but a stand of dead trees alongside the bones told a story.
Det Sgt Mark Kerswell said lightning had probably struck the tree or the wet ground near the cattle, travelling through either conductor and killing the animals instantly. "It’s the first time I’ve seen it but we know of incidents in other places all over the world including one in New South Wales where 63 head of cattle died under a tree," he said.
