Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage after the woman pushing a baby in a pram was struck in an alleged hit-and-run in Melbourne's north-west.

The woman, named Sarah*, was pushing the baby in a stroller when she was allegedly knocked down by a car on May 16.

The 35-year-old Ascot Vale woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

She had been walking alongside a man across Mount Alexander Road, near Mascoma Street, when she was allegedly hit by a car travelling north towards Ormond Road.

"There was no traffic and then all of a sudden I'd been hit by a car," she said.

The man and the children were uninjured.

Witnesses described the car involved as a small dark-coloured hatchback.

Highway patrol officers have implored anyone in the area at the time with footage or information to come forward as the search for the alleged hit-run offender continues.

A once-in-a-generation chance to own a piece of Australian history is here – but it'll set you back a bit in beer money.

Lee's Hotel in Ingham, Queensland, was immortalised as the "pub with no beer" in country legend Slim Dusty's song of the same name, and now it's up for sale for the first time in 50 years.

And it's long since rectified its famous problem, with publican Glen Connell pouring a schooner on Today.

"We definitely have plenty of beer here," he said.

The pub was known as the Day Dawn Hotel when, in December 1943, US troops on the way to Port Moresby stopped for the night in Ingham and drank the cellars dry.

The following day, sugarcane farmer and poet Dan Sheahan made the 30km horseback trip into town for a refreshment, only to be told the pub was out of the good stuff.

Glumly, Mr Sheahan ordered a glass of red, and sitting in the bar, was inspired by his doleful circumstances to write the poem that, years later, would become one of Slim Dusty's biggest hits.

Mr Sheahan was acknowledged as the author of the original poem when Slim visited Ingham, and the pair went on to work together on several other songs.

The Day Dawn Hotel was replaced by Lee's Hotel in 1960, just three years after A Pub With No Beer was released as a song.

And now, Mr Connell said, he was ready to move on and hand over custody to the next person who "wants to look after the story" – for the right price.

"Makes grown men write poems, and people write hit songs about it, so you put a price on that," Mr Connell said.

Tourism Brokers are handling the sale, and have listed the property to be sold freehold for $3.485 million.

In the baked red clay of outback Queensland, a team of palaeontologists have unearthed dinosaur bones that may belong to a new species.

The discovery was made in Eromanga in west Queensland – Australia's furthest town from the sea.

The remains were uncovered around 5pm yesterday as the team hit the "bone bed" at a site an hour from the Eromanga Natural History Museum.

Robyn Mackenzie, Director and Palaeontologist for the Eromanga Natural History Museum, told 9News.com.au the bones likely belong to a new species, which she estimated to be around 95 million years old.

"There's a good chance it will be a new dinosaur," Mrs Mackenzie said.

"Most things found in Australia in terms of dinosaurs have a very good chance of being new to science because of the nature of how we've been separated from Gondwana and South America for so long.

"It's very exciting…it's most probably going to be the nation's youngest dinosaur."

The bones will be sent away for laboratory work but Mrs Mackenzie said they can already tell a "a little bit" about the species.

"It's from a large plant-eating dinosaur, one they call a sauropod," she said.

So far the team have uncovered mostly vertebrae but with only a metre of earth dug out, there are high hopes of finding more remains.

It could take three to five years for the remains to be fully exhumed.

The site was first discovered by Mrs Mackenzie's son and daughter-in-law in 2018 who saw bones sticking out of the earth while mustering cattle.

They flagged the site, and a week ago the team put shovels into the ground for an official dig.

Eromanga is proving to be a hotbed for remains as there is a large area of dinosaur-age soil exposed.

"Over the past 17 years many sites have been found. Slowly each year we go through each site," Mrs Mackenzie said.

"Because the right age soils has been exposed we've actually found the dinosaur bones on top of the soil. That's the key to finding more bones beneath the ground.

"These are some of the richest dinosaur fields in Australia".

Hazardous waves are set to pummel the Queensland coast again today after keeping surf and rescue crews on their toes over the past 24 hours.

The dangerous conditions are concentrated along the southeast coastline with meteorologists saying swells could be as strong as they were yesterday.

"It's due to quite an intense low-pressure system that developed and remains slow moving off the north island of New Zealand," Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Felim Hanniffy said.

The Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Fraser Island Coast have seen the worst of the intense weather with waves expected to reach up to two metres today.

Yesterday, a skipper and his two deckhands had to be rescued after a "freak wave" smashed into their fishing trawler on the Gold Coast.

Deckhand Jordan Craig suffered a concussion in the chaos and had to be rescued with his crew by water police and paramedics.

"Out of nowhere, it just smashed (the boat)," Mr Craig told 9News.

Earlier in the day, a large catamaran also ran into trouble on Gold Coast waters with authorities having to tow the vessel back to port.

Mr Hanniffy said there is potential that Queensland's surf will remain at hazardous levels through to the weekend.

"The swell does ease back a touch but it will still remain elevated through the mid-week period and there's a potential for that swell to increase back up to hazardous levels later in the week as you go towards Friday and the weekend," he said.

Elsewhere, a low, front and troughs are continuing to generate strong winds, showers and storms in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania, with onshore winds bringing showers into Queensland's north.

A trough is causing patchy rain in Western Australia's northwest and a clearing high in WA's south will leave the region chilly with lows of just 7C in some areas.

Health authorities in the US say 50 per cent of all American adults have now been fully vaccinated against coronavirus.

The US Centres for Disease Control announced more than 130.6 million Americans have completed a full course of the vaccine as of this morning, with the White House urging more to come forward to receive the jab.

"This is a major milestone in our country's vaccination efforts," White House senior COVID-19 adviser Andy Slavitt said during a briefing, noting only one per cent of Americans were vaccinated when President Joe Biden entered office in January.

Earlier this month, Mr Biden said he wanted 160 million US adults fully vaccinated by July 4.

Mr Slavitt made an appeal to Americans who remain on the fence about getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

"Find whatever reason you want to get vaccinated. For those not sure yet, do your homework, talk to your doctor or your pharmacist. All concerns are reasonable, but do yourself a favour: Don't let some guy on Facebook answer your question when good answers are available," Mr Slavitt said.

Overall, 49.4 per cent of the US population age 12 and above has received at least one shot and 39.3 per cent of the US population age 12 and above is fully vaccinated.

The Pfizer vaccine for COVID-19 was only authorised for younger teens earlier this month and Moderna said that its COVID-19 vaccine is safe and appears to be effective in adolescents.

The Moderna vaccine is not yet authorised for use in people younger than 18; the company says it plans to submit the results to the US Food and Drug Administration in early June along with a request for authorisation to use the vaccine in adolescents.

White House officials have been focused on increasing accessibility to the vaccines, combating misinformation and assisting those without the resources to get vaccinated as they race to get shots in arms across the country.

Mr Biden has said there will be enough vaccine for every adult American by the end of this month and all people age 12 and up are eligible to receive a shot.

At least 25 states, plus Washington DC, have now fully vaccinated at least half of their adult residents, CDC data shows.

The federal health agency defines fully vaccinated as two weeks after the second dose of a Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccine or two weeks after the single shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

At least 70 to 85 per cent of the US population will need to be immunised through vaccines or infection in order to reach the threshold of protection needed to limit the virus' spread, according to health experts.

Focusing on vaccinating children, teens and young adults could help reach that percentage, and furthermore, leaving them unvaccinated could give the virus a chance to spread, mutate and develop a strain resistant to existing vaccines.

In addition, vaccinating children and adolescents has been an increasing focus as officials look ahead to the new school year starting in the fall.

The Biden administration more than doubled its initial goal of 100 million COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in its first 100 days, reaching the 200 million benchmark on April 21.

The administration has been ramping up efforts to get the rest of the population vaccinated as variants spread throughout the country and threaten to derail the progress the nation has made in combating the pandemic.

Some Americans are resisting getting vaccinated, and in response the White House has poured resources into educating the American public about the safety and efficacy of the three COVID-19 vaccines available in the US.
