Police recover body of man who jumped from Channel Island Bridge near Darwin
Police have recovered the body of a 55-year-old man who jumped off the Channel Island bridge near Darwin on Friday night and was unable to swim back to shore. A Northern Territory Police Force spokesperson said the man — who the ABC has chosen not to name following his death — "voluntarily" jumped off the bridge "accompanied by workmates" some time after 9pm. They said the man was reportedly "laughing and active within the water", but began drifting away "despite his friends' attempts to encourage him" to return to dry land. "He was last seen in the middle of the channel, drifting toward Darwin City in strong tidal currents," the police spokesperson said. "Witnesses observed him for approximately two minutes before losing sight of him." Police launched an extensive search and rescue operation on Friday night with help from a CareFlight helicopter and the port authority, and were joined by NT Emergency Service volunteers and others when the search resumed on Saturday morning. However, a body matching the man's description was spotted in the water about 11.30am and recovered, before he was officially declared deceased. A report will be prepared for the coroner.

Strong winds blow Central Coast kite surfer into power lines
A KITE SURFER made a lucky escape on Monday morning after strong winds forced him into power lines on the Central Coast. The man in his 50s was surfing at a popular Central Coast beach on May 19 when a weather change caused him to become airborne. Emergency services were alerted to the scene at Ettalong Beach about 11.30am when the Mounties Care CareFlight Helicopter was tasked by NSW Ambulance. A CareFlight spokesperson said the man had sustained lacerations after being caught in the power lines. He was treated by a CareFlight specialist doctor and NSW Ambulance paramedics at the scene before he was transported by helicopter to the Royal North Shore Hospital in a stable condition. The wild weather is drenching the Hunter Coast with the Bureau of Meteorology warning the worst is yet to come. Large and powerful surf conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as crossing bars by boat and rock fishing. Daily rainfall totals between 70mm and 130mm are expected around the region on Tuesday, while some isolated areas may receive up to 180mm. Williamtown and Cessnock recorded record May daily rainfall totals in the 24 hours to 9am Monday.

Kitesurfer flown to hospital after being blown into powerlines at Ettalong Beach by strong winds
A kitesurfer has been flown to hospital after strong winds lifted him from a popular beach on the NSW Central Coast, blowing him into powerlines before he landed on the road. Emergency services were called to Ettalong Beach on Monday morning after a man in his 50s was lifted from the surf by the winds – which reached up to 61km/h just after 8.30am – and was thrown into powerlines before landing on the road. He was treated at the scene by paramedics and a CareFlight specialist for laceration injuries. A CareFlight helicopter landed at Lemon Grove Park just after 12pm and transported the man to Royal North Shore Hospital. He remains in a stable condition. It follows the Bureau of Meteorology issuing a severe weather warning for the Mid North Coast and parts of the Hunter Region, with heavy rainfall and damaging winds expected to persist into the week. 'Strong southeasterly winds averaging 50 to 70 km/h, with damaging wind gusts of around 90 km/h are expected over the coastal areas of the Hunter and Mid North Coast, during today and into tomorrow,' the warning reads.
