Obviously this is for Newcastle, Australia, since it is part of Aussie Zone. We also welcome input from adjoining Lake Macquarie. Keep it clean and don't be mean.

I think I remember that one. Weren't they smuggling the drugs in by attaching to the hulls of ships? And didn't they find one guy in full scuba gear had died trying to retrieve the drugs?
Yeah, the diver was recovered from the port, he had faulty gear from what I remember - which is why they initially had this guy pegged with manslaughter charges.
