Better late than never mate, goes the Australian saying
As for the reporting accuracy, close but no shrimps!

Even the Aussies should be entitled to accurate, prompt reporting!
Heaven knows we have criticized Earth Observatory often enough for holding on to images of public interest instead of releasing them instantly on Internet. However it took the Australian broadcaster nearly two weeks and a major political shift, taking the Sarychev Peak out of the hands of Russians and handing it over to the Japanese, to report the eruption.
