Pennington in Kara Kara Burong and MacFarlane in Bright were closely watched as the election’s uncertainty persisted. Premier Argyle said no major political shifts occurred beyond personal changes.

Shark Attack Claims Youth at Nortus Narrabeen Beach
Herbert McFarlane, 22, of Roralle, died en route to hospital after a shark mauled his right thigh and groin while he swam at Nortus Narrabeen last Saturday afternoon. John Barrett, 27, of the North Narrabeen Burt Club, dived in to assist and brought the injured man ashore despite currents. Barrett swam 30 yards to reach McFarlane, a lifeline was cut, and he was carried to the surf where a doctor treated him. McFarlane’s thigh wound extended from just above the knee to the top of the hip. Barrett, interviewed, said he never expected to rescue someone from a shark attack and that he would not swim at the beach again. Narrabeen beach residents recalled the incident as a rare tragedy at the popular spot.
