Spider in fuel tank prompts Mazda to recall 52,000 vehicles
A spider which wove a web inside an engine prompted Mazda overnight to recall 52,000 vehicles across the US to outfit them with special screens to keep the spiders out.
The problem was first discovered in October 2009 when a dealer found a spider web in a canister vent line when a customer brought their Mazda 6 in for repairs after it started leaking fuel.
The problem was first discovered in October 2009 when a dealer found a spider web in a canister vent line when a customer brought their Mazda 6 in for repairs after it started leaking fuel.
The dealer investigated further and it was determined that the web blocked up the vent and caused "excessive vacuum" in the fuel tank which "eventually resulted in a crack in the fuel tank through repetitive negative pressure stress," Mazda said in filings with safety regulators.
Dealers will inspect all the vehicles for cracks, clean out the vents, install a "spring to prohibit spider intrusion" and reprogram the powertrain control module to avoid a build up of pressure in the tank.
If any webs or damage are found, the canister and fuel tank will be replaced.
Drugs made into paste and painted into books to smuggle into jail
FIVE people, including three New Jersey inmates, were arrested in connection with a conspiracy to use children's colouring book pages to smuggle drugs into a county jail, WPVI-TV reported.
In mid-February, colouring book pictures painted an orange-yellow color began arriving at the Cape May County Correctional Facility. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the pictures were often addressed, "To Daddy".
Correctional officers had received a tip about a conspiracy to smuggle drugs into facility through the mail, and tests on the pictures revealed the orange-yellow substance was Suboxone, a drug used to wean addicts off opiates. The drug had been dissolved into a paste and painted onto the coloring book pages so inmates could lick the substance to get high.
Taking Suboxone without a doctor's direction can be dangerous.
"When it's first used, first being administered, you have to almost daily monitor that because it can cause breathing problems and death," Cape May County Sheriff Gary Schaffer said, according to WPVI-TV.

Homeowner auctions off rock that destroyed house with a catch
AMID the rubble of Christchurch, at least one homeowner whose home was destroyed can see the funny side of things.
Phil Johnson's home was badly damaged when a 30-tonne boulder dislodged from a hill above his home, rolled down and smashed through the roof and coming to rest in his living room.
Mr Johnson has placed the offending stone - dubbed "Rocky" - on trademe.co.nz and already the bids are up to almost $NZ1000.
The catch? The buyer will have to move it.
On the page, which features photos of the boulder and the destruction it caused, he describes the rock thus: "He is in pristine condition (just a little bit of concrete dust). Suitable for garden feature, or as in our case a magnificent addition to your living area.

'Sexting' on the rise among teenagers
TEENAGERS are exchanging naked photos of themselves as a form of "insurance" to prevent their partners forwarding on saucy images, as the trend of sexting becomes increasingly common.
University of NSW researcher Nina Funnell has spoken to hundreds of young people aged between 15 and 18 about their sexting habits for a book she is writing and found sexting is an accepted part of adolescent dating culture, The Daily Telegraph reports.
The ongoing two-year research project into sexting - sending sexually explicit messages, photos or videos via text message - has revealed the adolescents are aware that filming their sexual poses and behaviour is risky.
"The common idea is that young people are doing this as a response to pressure or they're brainwashed by popular culture," Ms Funnell said.

French school students taken to hospital after eating hashish 'breakfast bars'
FRENCH police were investigating today how a bag of hashish resin blocks, eaten by kids who mistook them for breakfast cereal bars, came to be left in the grounds of a school.
The students told teachers that they found the package containing the "leafy-flavored breakfast bars" hidden between a bush and the school fence during recess Friday, Le Progres newspaper reported.
One child from the school for six to 11 year olds in Tarentaize, near St. Etienne, in central France, was rushed to the hospital later that evening by his worried mother, along with a piece of the "leafy" bar.
Tests confirmed the bar that contained cannabis resin, and the boy was sent home. None of the other children who ate the bars became ill.
The mother of the boy who got sick filed a police complaint against the school for the "admission of harmful substances."

Bully Stars Casey and Richard Gale Paid $40K each for interview.
So it seems bullyin can be lucrative... Bash some kid, give interview, make easy $40k.
"Caught in between were the 12-year-old Ritchard and 16-year-old Casey, whose families made about $40,000 each for the interviews, with Seven donating to an anti-bully group as well."
From This Sorrid artcile by Adelaide Now:
IT began with a victim fighting back against a bully; now, it's become schoolyard tactics by TV stations.
The brawling A Current Affair and Today Tonight, which used both boys as ratings cannon fodder, accused each other of stealing footage of paid interviews with victim Casey Heynes (on ACA) and bully Ritchard Gale (on TT).
Nine's ACA replayed Seven's TT interview with Gale minutes later on Monday night. It did not attribute the 270 seconds of pure TT replay to it, even including Seven reporter James Thomas's questions and narration above an ACA on-screen watermark.
But that was minutes after TT ran segments of unattributed ACA footage from its Sunday night interview with Casey - but without questions or narration from ACA's reporter.
The unprecedented moment in Australian TV news wars stunned Seven chief David Leckie.
He said it was a complete lift and ordered immediate legal action, while Seven yesterday pursued a copyright claim against Nine.
In response, Nine was pulling out a "tipper full of prior convictions" where TT had used ACA's footage, to counter Seven's legal action.
Caught in between were the 12-year-old Ritchard and 16-year-old Casey, whose families made about $40,000 each for the interviews, with Seven donating to an anti-bully group as well.
Ritchard yesterday left a note on the doorstep of Casey's home which said: "Sorry for hitting you ... hopefully all this trouble will stop after I say sorry to you and shake your hand."
TT last night also interviewed the teen who filmed the fight, who defended his friend Ritchard. He said Ritchard passed him his phone to record the vision but he was not to blame for the fight. "He (Ritchard) was provoked to do it," said the boy, who was suspended for 20 days for
While TT won Monday's national ratings with 1.44 million viewers to ACA's 1.2 million, the latter ironically beat TT in Sydney, with 420,000 viewers to the former's 378,000.

Casey Heynes' school Chifley Colledge Dunheved gets the all clear in bullying case
THE NSW Department of Education has cleared Chifley College of condoning a bullying culture, despite its principal allowing more than 60 incident reports involving Casey Heynes to stack up.
The Year 10 student shot to international fame last week when a video of him fighting back against a schoolyard bully at his western Sydney public school went viral, reports the Sunday Telegraph.
The 16-year-old is seen pressed against a wall taking punches and taunts from a small Year 7 boy, Ritchard Gale, before snapping and throwing him to the ground.
During an interview with A Current Affair, Casey claimed he wrote between 60 and 70 incident reports to the school about the bullying, yet never got a break from the harassment.
A department spokesman said Chifley College principal Tim Jones would not be disciplined because he had done nothing wrong.
The spokesman admitted there were students who had been repeatedly abused by bullies but said the department was satisfied the Doonside school provided adequate support to the victims.
"Students who are subject to repeated bullying receive regular specialist and individual support," he said.
"The school supports students who report being bullied. The students are supported by a full-time counsellor, additional year advisers and peer mediators."
The department has also gagged the media from asking questions directly of Mr Jones or any teachers at Chifley College about the 60 reported complaints of bullying.
But speaking on the condition of anonymity, a school source confirmed Casey's incident reports had been ignored.
"The incident reports don't go anywhere - they just stack The department spokesman said every report filed to the principal had been addressed.
He would not detail how these had been addressed or how many reports had been received, but said the school had several ways to resolve instances of bullying.
These included disciplinary action, self-esteem programs, counsellor intervention and support and learning plans, as well as access to community support agencies.
Despite none of these methods helping Casey, the spokesman was adamant the school had done nothing wrong and had no need to overhaul its response to bullying.
The video has sparked calls for stronger supervision.
"The overwhelming bulk of bullying happens during recess and lunchtime, when students are not being supervised. We need more supervision, more staff in the playground," Parents and Citizens Federa- tion spokeswoman Sharryn Brownlee said.
"The duty of care is all day, not just in your classroom."
Jasmine Cook, of Yellow Rock, said she had to pull her daughter Brianna out of the local primary school because staff there refused to help her.
Brianna, 8, whom she claims was physically and mentally abused for two years, wants to encourage victims of bullying to stand up to their attackers.
"I was so scared of the bullies. They would push me down to the ground, jump on me and tackle me," she said.
"When I told the teacher, they would send me home, not send the bullies home."

Machine drags man though gap width of CD case
A BRITISH man has miraculously survived after being dragged through a gap the width of a CD case in a freak workplace accident.
Matthew Lowe, 25, was grabbed by a high-powered conveyor system at the Compass Engineering factory where he worked in Barnsley, northern England, and squeezed through a five-inch gap from his shoulders to his feet, The Sun reported.
He broke his back, ruptured his stomach and bowel, shattered his pelvis and fractured both hips, his right arm and several ribs.
"I don't know how I'm alive," said the dad of one, whose head was pulled through a wider space. "I knew what was happening to me so just relaxed and hoped for the best. I really thought it was the end -- I was completely trapped.
"The machine crushed my body, ripped my clothes to shreds and spat me out. I was still alive but had no idea how."

Carjack Fail
A WOMAN is in hospital after being hit in the head with a gun during an attempted carjacking - the third in three days.
The 41-year-old woman was approached by a gun-wielding man around 11.15pm, moments after driving her luxury CLK Mercedes into an underground carpark of a unit block in Strathfield.
The man threatened the woman, striking her in the head with the butt of the gun, and forced her into the passenger seat.
The man jumped into the driver's seat, however, his plan was foiled when he could not open the electric door of the Churchill Ave's carpark.
The man then got out of the car and ran from the carpark.
The woman is in a stable condition in Concord Hospital with severe bruising and lacerations to her face.
The would-be carjacker is described as Middle Eastern/Mediterranean in appearance and was wearing black clothes, black sunglasses and white gloves.
The incident is the second carjacking at gunpoint yesterday and the third in three days.

Cyclone Yasi destroyed much of Far North Queensland's marijuana crops
CYCLONE Yasi has helped Far Northern police in the fight against drug use and growing, wiping out much of the region's marijuana crops.
The destructive wind which destroyed forest areas has exposed drug crops, the Cairns Post reports.
"We would expect that a lot of the cannabis would have been destroyed,” Far Northern Drug Squad Det Sen-Sgt Kevin Goan said.
"The surrounding foliage would no longer be providing cover and concealment to assist the cultivation of the plants."
Specialised lights used to grow marijuana plants are also believed to have been cut during the storm.
"If anyone were to be engaged in that activity long-term, a loss of power would impact on the success of their enterprise," Sen-Sgt Goan said.

Cow manure fetish man jailed for two years in UK
A BRITISH man with a fetish for cow manure was beginning a two-year jail sentence today after he was caught sexually pleasuring himself while covered in dung on a farm in southwestern England.
David Truscott, 41, was found naked apart from a single sock by farmer Clive Roth's 16-year-old son last month, on Woodbury House Farm in Penzance, local newspaper The Falmouth Packet reported.
When officers arrived, he was covered in a large amount of slurry and mud and was surrounded by tissues.
It was the third time he was caught in similar circumstances at the same farm. He was previously jailed for offenses linked to his fetish.
Judge Christopher Elwen, presiding at Truro Crown Court, turned down defense calls for a suspended sentence, saying that Truscott had to be jailed for his "bizarre and perverted activities."
Truscott pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to breaching a restraining order and causing harassment.

Brisbane teen boy's sleepover party turns into real life horror movie
SIX boys cowered in the dark as a knife-wielding man threatened to kill them during a suburban sleepover from hell.
The group of mostly 12-year-olds yesterday told how their neighbour went on a rampage, screaming they "were going to die" and trying to batter down the door to their townhouse in the Brisbane suburb of Capalaba.
The three-hour ordeal ended only when Brett Hayes, 50, was shot in the groin by a policewoman after he allegedly lunged at her with six 30cm knives.
An investigation has been launched into the shooting as police defended their response to several frantic calls for help.
Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett said police had visited the unit block "on a couple of occasions" earlier in the night, but were unable to find the source of a reported disturbance.

So it seems theres a fake sealand going around phishing for your details..
Once again there is yet another fraudulent Sealand website purporting to represent the Principality. They are requesting personal information from people on their site to gain citizenship however this is a hoax and we have no idea of their motives. Please do not send any personal information to the "Republic of Sealand"!
Thanks to all our fans that have brought this to our attention and for your continued support!
The only Official Government Website is www.sealandgov.org
Prince Michael would like to add:
The Republic of Sealand website has been created it seems by someone that we have never ever heard of. Lots of work must have gone into it I would imagine. The internet is a wonderful thing but the down side is that anyone can put what they want on it.
Some years ago my father was amused to read his own obituary on Wikipedia, it seemed that he had been taken by one of the rarest diseases known to man (well it would be wouldn’t it)! But then thinking about it even before the internet there was the journalist who interviewed Prince Roy in a pub in Harwich, Roy went to the toilet never to return again, he must have climbed out the window said the Journalist. He wrote and published the story even though my parents were on the other side of the world at the time. But there are many more stories like that.
My message to the world is that there is no change in the Principality and things are as usual, and the early spring weather is welcome on the North Sea .
The self appointed Republic of Sealand is nothing more than a lame try to scam citizens in order to get their personal data.

Two men shot and killed in Houston after finding lost mobile phone
TWO US men were shot and killed today in Houston, apparently in a dispute over a lost mobile phone.
Police responded to reports of a shooting at an apartment complex at about 2am local time, KHOU-TV said. When officers arrived on the scene, they found one dead body at the front of the complex and another in the rear.
Witnesses told police that the two victims had picked up a dropped mobile phone in a parking lot after leaving a convenience store. The owner of the phone apparently rang the device and told one of the victims to meet him at the apartment complex.
The suspects arrived at the complex and fired on the two victims. One of the victims, who was handicapped, was immediately shot and killed. The other victim attempted to flee the scene on foot with a witness, but was caught by the suspects and also fatally shot.

Canteen takes up online spy technology
NEW canteens are allowing parents to log in and spy on their children's school lunches online.
The swipe card technology also allows parents to block their kids from buying junk food.
At Kardinia International College in Geelong, Victoria, students can only buy items at the canteen with an electronic card.
Principal John Goodfellow said students could load the card using a machine at school or parents could load it from the internet.
"They go up and point the card and what comes up on the screen is their photo and then the serving staff know if there are any restrictions on what they eat," he said.
"So parents can say they're not allowed to have this or not allowed to have that. If they order a pie and they're not allowed a pie, the transaction will be refused.

SKA - An Aussie outback full of satellite dishes - A new outlook
IMAGINE being able to track the evolution of the universe, back to almost the beginning of space and time.
Enter the Square Kilometre Array or "SKA", the largest proposed telescope on Earth.
Soon to be - hopefully - located in the Australian outback.
Much like a palaeontologist digging down through the layers of earth, studying fossils and materials to determine the history of life on earth, the SKA will study the layers of gases and materials to determine how the universe came to be.
When it's built, the SKA will be 50 times larger than the world’s current largest radio telescope and comprise of over 3000 antennas or dishes scattered over a continent or more.
In total, it will span up 5500km. Half of those dishes will be in a central 5km by 5km region.
All the information from these will be brought together by the world’s fastest broadband network running at 100 terabytes per second - 10 times the equivalent of the world’s internet traffic today.

Fat Americans Need More Space on Buses
Michelle Obama's war on obesity is getting some support from the Federal Transit Administration: It wants to beef up bus-testing regulations to account for the increased poundage of its passengers.
After studying the fats, er, facts, the FTA is proposing to change the average passenger weight from 150 to 175 pounds and the floor space occupied per standing passenger from 1.5 to 1.75 square feet.
And because passengers are getting heftier, the FTA wants to update the structural strength and distortion test procedures to ensure that buses don't get busted from too many people busting their pants.
According to the official docket, the regulatory change is needed because not only are Americans bigger than they used to be, but there's a big problem with the current testing procedures: A number of buses tested at the FTA's Bus Testing Center had not been tested in their fully loaded condition with all seats and standing positions occupied.
Apparently, that was because doing so would have caused the actual weight to exceed either the gross vehicle weight ratings or a front or rear gross axle weight rating.
As a result, the test data might not reflect the actual performance of these buses in real-life service, particularly during rush hour when operators frequently allow all seats and aisles to be filled without regard to regulations, to avoid leaving passengers behind at a stop.

Book on What Men Think About Besides Sex Outsells 'Harry Potter,' 'Da Vinci Code'
It is perhaps no surprise that a book titled "What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex" is a best seller.
It is also perhaps no surprise that such a book has recently outsold a Harry Potter title and "The Da Vinci Code" on Amazon.com.
But what about the fact that the book contains only blank pages?
The joke is on, well, all of us.
"I am fiercely proud that I can now call myself a best-selling author," said comedian and entrepreneur Sheridan Simove, the book's "writer."
"What is wonderful about it is that people want to laugh."
"What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex" has sold out its first print run, hitting No. 744 on Amazon's list, ahead of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" at No. 2,910 and JK Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" at No. 2,406.
Simove told AOL News that the idea for the book came after an earlier publishing venture, a self-help book called "Ideas Man," which was a comparative flop.
"It was about my life and success and failures," he said of "Ideas Man." "It took me five years to [write], it was out for two years, and it got to number 5,000 on the Amazon charts."
Simove's other ideas have been more successful, including a Martin Loofah King bath product, the Inotepad and the Designer Beaver, an adult novelty gift, which he claims have sold over a million units.
"I like to do things where people say it can't be done and no one puts barriers in front of my goal," Simove said.
The latest winning idea was turning a joke into a book.
A blank book.
"From the day of conception to having a book in my hand took nine days. I became gripped by the idea."
Although "What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex" was given an ISBN number, crucial for any serious publishing venture, British authorities refused to grant the publication the tax-free status it usually does for books.
"The question now is when is a book not a book?" Simove said. "This is the first surrealist book ever made."

Sheridan Simove's book "What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex" has become a surprise best seller on Amazon.com. The book has 200 blank pages and is currently outselling two of the biggest books of all time.

Mona Lisa model was a male, say Italian researchers
ITALIAN researchers who specialise in resolving art mysteries said today they have discovered the disputed identity of the model for Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa - and claimed he was a man.
Silvano Vinceti, chairman of the Italian national committee for cultural heritage, said the Florence-born Renaissance artist's male apprentice and possible lover Salai was the main inspiration for the picture.
However his claim was immediately disputed by experts at the Louvre in Paris, where the painting is on display.
Salai, real name Gian Giacomo Caprotti, a young artist who worked with da Vinci for 25 years, is thought to have served as a model and muse for several of his paintings. The pair had an "ambiguous" relationship and were probably lovers, Mr Vinceti said.
Comparisons between the facial characteristics of figures from several of da Vinci's works -- such as St. John the Baptist and the Angel Incarnate - reveal striking similarities with the Mona Lisa's nose and mouth, he said.

Family gets nothing as Hebrew University owns Albert Einstein's name
RELATIVITY is lost on the university that owns the lucrative rights to Albert Einstein's name but does not give a dollar to his family, the New York Post reported.
"Everyone assumes I'm filthy rich, and they think I have a mental problem because I'm not using my money," the late scientist's granddaughter, Evelyn Einstein, told The Post.
When the iconic genius died in 1955 at age 76, he bequeathed the literary rights in his estate to Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The school later trademarked Einstein's name, and last year alone made $10 million from licensing fees.
"I never made any issue of the fact that they were willed the literary estate," Evelyn said. "But what does a bobblehead have to do with a literary estate? I was really offended by some of the stuff that was being OK'd."
Evelyn, 69, and in poor health, said she never knew how much her grandfather's name was worth until 2008, when Forbes magazine released its list of highest-earning deceased celebrities.
Evelyn said when she approached officials at Hebrew University about sharing the profits, she was "rudely blown off."

"Glitchy" iPad 2 is the new iPhone 4
JUST days before the iPad 2 hits the shelves in Australia, overseas consumers are already reporting apparent defects in the much hyped tablet.
Internet forums and technology websites are running hot with users complaining of "backlight bleeding" on the touchscreen, as well as dead pixels and problems with the antenna.
The iPad 2 goes on sale Friday in Australia, with Apple stores and other retailers making stock available after 5pm.
US website Cult of Mac reviewer David Martin said his original iPad 2 and a replacement device both suffered from backlight bleeding, where light seeped through on the edges when the screen was black.
“I spent more than $1,000 for the whole thing with accessories - I want something worth the investment not a dud,” Mr Martin posted on cultofmac.com.

Waiting 50 hours to buy an iPad 2? Just a bit of fun
TRAVEL through Asia. Catch up with friends. Wait in line for 50 hours to buy a gadget you already own.
These are some of the things that Alex Lee, 27, is doing on holiday.
"I was backpacking in Asia, and I already have my iPad 2, but my sister needed one so I said, OK, I'll come down," Mr Lee told news.com.au.
"Since my cousin lives here and I have friends here, I said why not, let's do this, let's have some fun."
Mr Lee, who lives in Canada but previously studied in Sydney, today became the first person to start camping outside Sydney's Apple Store for the launch of the iPad 2.
He's in for quite a wait — the gadget doesn't go on sale until 5pm on Friday afternoon.

The worst song in the world.
Rebecca Black's saccharine song Friday went nuts over the weekend after Comedy Central's website posted a link to it under the headline Songwriting Isn't For Everyone.
The heavily auto-tuned track has already had more than 10 million views and while her age-appropriate fans may consider her the next Justin Bieber, other music fans have protested loudly about the banality of the track.
The ratings button on the YouTube clip has been disabled and Black has out-trended the Japanese earthquake tragedy for the past few days.
Reviewers have said "it's so bad, it's good" for its lyrical content which includes the unforgettable chorus:
"Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today is Friday, Friday (Partyin')
Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes afterwards".
...Somebody Please Kill it with Fire.

British woman 'bites off' boyfriend's testicles
A BRITISH man had surgery to reattach his testicles after his girlfriend allegedly bit them off, the Daily Mirror reported yesterday.
Maria Georgina Topp, 43, appeared in court accused of carrying out the horrific attack on her boyfriend Martin Douglas, 45, in Newcastle, northern England.
Douglas had to call emergency services himself after the incident, but was in so much pain operators could not understand what he was saying. He needed emergency surgery and had to spend several days in the hospital recovering from the attack.
Paramedics who attended the scene called police when they saw the extent of his injuries and Topp was arrested and charged with causing grievous bodily harm.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said, "At around 4:00am [local time] on Friday, Feb. 18, police were called to a report of an assault. Officers arrested a 43-year-old woman on suspicion of assault. A 45-year-old man was taken to the Freeman Hospital for treatment to injuries to his arm and groin area."

Facebook party invite mayhem: youth could face jail
A 17-year-old NSW student has been charged after a girl's 16th birthday party invitation went viral on Facebook.
The youth, from Sydney's north, was arrested at 1.40pm yesterday when police visited his home and seized two of his computer hard-disk drives.
He was later charged with using a carriage service (the internet) to harass/offend contrary to the Commonwealth Criminal Code Act, NSW Police said.
Under the Commonwealth Criminal Code Act, if a person is found guilty of the alleged offence the penalty is imprisonment for a maximum of three years.
Superintendent Terence Dalton yesterday said police had identified the youth as the person allegedly behind the dissemination of a teenage girl's birthday party invitation - including her name, home address and mobile phone number - to more than 200,000 people online.
The girl had originally created her own birthday invitation on Facebook but shut it down after it got out of hand with more than 2000 people registered to attend.
However within a day, an impostor created the invitation again and it spread to more than 200,000 Facebook users.
Superintendent Dalton said yesterday it was "good police work" which led them to identify the youth, who allegedly assumed the girl’s identity under another Facebook profile to spread the party invite.
He said the party the girl originally intended to hold had now been cancelled and additional police resources would be rostered on the day to patrol the area.
‘‘Any person turning up in that area and engaging in any anti-social behaviour will be dealt with severely,’’ he said.
He also wanted to remind parents to be "more vigilant" when it came to their children’s use of social networking.

Teachers should not have takens kids Snorkelling
A 40-YEAR-OLD Melbourne school teacher has been swept to his death while snorkelling with a group of schoolgirls off Bells Beach.
The group of 15 schoolgirls and three teachers from prestigious Shelford Girls Grammar School in Caulfield were on an organised snorkelling excursion with a Torquay-based adventure company at Southside Beach - an area of reef to the south of Bells Beach - when they were struck by heavy waves about 4.30pm.
The group were snorkelling and rock-hopping along the stretch of reef when the waves hit, the Herald Sun reports.
Most of the schoolgirls and two teachers were able to battle to shore.
