you also missed the diving instructor who was sampled off the causeway at garden island

There are sharks out there?

Wow wishy, you have been reseaching, thanks for that.

How many people got killed on driving on the way to the beach or even crossing the street to get to the beach? How many people drowned?

Being taken by a shark is a relatively rare occurance. Why would you worry about it? You are more likely to win the lottery.

Though I do wonder if people typically see the shark that gets them or if they just come out of nowhere.

Guys you aint got much in the water that we don't have in our waters.


Frankly This Euro Bashing is getting Boring, how about we kick all the Ozzie trainee teachers and Bar staff bums off our beaches, with their she'll be alright self launching tactics, whilst un insured.

Get over it guys seriously, just sound like a bunch of sooks who have spat their dummies.

Ha ha same here dude, just enjoying a bit of fishing.

we have the same issue back home in our summer months when we have an influx of eastern Euros and others and the city slickers jumping around our beaches.

Simple way we deal with it is most beaches have formulated clubs with the BKSA and local councils, Insurance is mandatory and we police issues directly, saves resorting to localism.

Guess we are just a little too PC back in the mother land.
Nothing quite like a bit of controversial banter between the ozzies and pomes,
ya bunch of crooks

Reduced washing and underwear - Lower shark attacks.. is there a link, or is the euro bashing catching on.

I don't think it matter if its a euro or an Auzzie shark - you are still going to have to wash your wettie

you really have one of the oceans most prolific killers in the "lesser spotted dogfish". Man that fish gives me nightmares

No thank you, I don't eat fishes from Russia or the Philipines

There are no fishes left in the ocean in Europe, small or big so it is extremely safe
Lots of tyres tho

try this maybe, www.plentyoffish.com

should find a few there

All bull$hit aside, I feel for those involved in these events, its a harsh deal, but one we all take the risk of when we step in the ocean. Here in south aus we have had more and more sightings of greatwhites over the past few summers, as I suspect the rest if the country. Everyone take care, and good winds to all...
