A huge snake has won a life and death battle against a crocodile in Australia, swallowing the animal whole after a lengthy struggle before amazed onlookers.

(AFP)

Travis Corlis, who watched the fight at Queensland's Lake Moondarra, near the mining town of Mount Isa, on Sunday, said the snake, thought to be a python, was about 10 feet (three metres) long and "healthy looking".

The crocodile, which the snake coiled itself around, was about three feet in length, he said.

(AFP)

"They had quite the struggle in the water," he told AFP. "It was an ongoing battle.

"We were just standing there in amazement watching it."

Corlis said several hours after he first saw the encounter, he noticed the snake had pulled the crocodile onto the banks of the lake and released its prey, which by this stage was dead.

"About 10 minutes later the crocodile was gone," he said, referring to the creature being eaten.

His wife Tiffany described the battle as "just unbelievable".

"We were sort of thinking that the snake had bitten off a little more than it could chew," she told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

"But it did. It actually ate the crocodile."

She added: "When you actually looked at the snake, you could actually see the crocodile's ridges, legs and everything inside its belly."

Tiffany said the crocodile had struggled to keep its head out of the water, and while both animals had clearly tired during their marathon fight for survival, "finally, the croc sort of gave in".

Travis Corlis said while crocodiles and snakes were both common in the area, he had never seen them battle each other in such a way.

Freshwater crocodiles are known to inhabit Lake Moondarra and Travis Corlis said a recent drought had seen the water level drop, making them more visible.

"I think it might just have been nature at its best," he said.

Soaring cost of cars and utilities as well as a strong currency have made Singapore the world's most expensive city, toppling Tokyo from the top spot, according to a survey Tuesday.

The survey, which examines prices across 160 products and services in 140 cities, is aimed at helping companies calculate allowances for executives being sent overseas.
 

"Improving sentiment in structurally expensive European cities combined with the continued rise of Asian hubs means that these two regions continue to supply most of the world's most expensive cities," Jon Copestake, the editor of the report, said in a statement.

The report said European cities were among the priciest in the recreation and entertainment categories, reflecting "a greater premium on discretionary income".

Oslo is third.

Zurich comes fourth.

The survey, which examines prices across 160 products and services in 140 cities, is aimed at helping companies calculate allowances for executives being sent overseas.

Sydney is fifth.

Tokyo's weakening yen saw it slide to sixth place, the position previously occupied by Singapore.

"Singapore's rising price prominence has been steady rather than spectacular," said a report accompanying the survey by the research firm.
It said a 40 percent rise in the Singapore dollar along with "solid price inflation" pushed the country to the top of the twice-yearly survey from 18th a decade ago.

The report said Singapore's curbs on car ownership, which include a quota system and high taxes, made it "significantly more expensive than any other location when it comes to running a car".

A new Toyota Corolla Altis costs $110,000 in Singapore compared to around $35,000 in neighbouring Malaysia.
Overall transport costs in Singapore are almost three times higher than those in New York, it said.

New York, which serves as the base city for the survey, was ranked 26th, while Sydney and Melbourne came in at fifth and sixth respectively owing to a strong Australian dollar.

Melbourne is at 6th.

Geneva

Copenhagen comes in at 10th.

"In addition, as a city-state with very few natural resources to speak of, Singapore is reliant on other countries for energy and water supplies, making it the third most expensive destination for utility costs," the report said.

It also noted that Singapore is the priciest place in the world to buy clothes, as malls and boutiques in its popular Orchard Road retail hub import luxury European brands to "satisfy a wealthy and fashion-conscious consumer base".

Singapore has one of the world's highest concentrations of millionaires relative to its 5.4 million population. Its per capita income of more than $51,000 in 2012 masks a widening income gap between the richest and poorest.

India's financial centre Mumbai was ranked the world's least expensive city, joining other South Asian cities including Karachi, New Delhi and Kathmandu in the bottom of the pile.

After wearing a see through dress at the Colors Party, Sonam kapoor decided to behave herself at the announcement of the 3rd L'Oreal Paris Femina Women Awards.

Dressed in a long outfit that completely covered her, Sonam made sure that there was no error of judgement this time around.
She's a fashionista in the true sense of the word and knows to dress to the occasion.
 

Vidya Balan knows that she dresses up wrongly most of the times, but after Dirty Picture, she knows that people go Ooh La La over her acting alone.

So she feels that it is best to carry herself off in a saree gracefully rather than try anything smart when she comes on television.
 

And that is what she stuck to at a Women's Day event for a TV channel.

Better safe than saree!

Vidya Balan and her 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' director Raj Kumar Hirani along with Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra and actress turned anchor Simi Garewal were present at an event organised by the Indian Film Festival, Melbourne.
 

Vidya was dressed in a saree again, but her blouse was a tad odd. We are also tired of describing her fashion statements, so we will let this one pass.
