Woman bitten by funnel-web spider at Jervis Bay
A seven months pregnant woman, Mrs Burgin, was bitten by a funnel-web spider while walking with a group near Royal Jervis College, Jervis Bay. She fell seriously ill and was taken to Shoalhaven District Hospital in Nowra with grave concerns for the baby. Doctors hoped to face the danger to both mother and child as police escorted her husband and companions through holiday traffic to care facilities. The incident marks one of many funnel-web bite cases attributed to the Sydney species, Atrax formidabilis, noted for dangerous bites at the entrances of their retreat sites.

Eviction Notice Shocks Canberra Couple Over Foreigner Owned Home
A Canberra couple, Mr and Mrs Tan Shield, received an eviction notice on Christmas Eve claiming they are illegal tenants of a Commonwealth owned property on Reynolds Street Cortin. They say the original tenant was meant to buy the house from the Department of Foreign Affairs and that they were led to believe they were legal tenants. The Shields face 28 days to vacate as the department provides little explanation and cannot clarify the ownership status or breach details. The Canberra Times reports confusion over the department’s position as inquiries go unanswered during the holiday period.
