Glug said.. There was a death in the 1920's. But yeah the swan river bulsharks seem a bit less inclined for some human flesh.
Yep. There's massive bullsharks in almost all of the rivers at the moment. They rarely seem to bother humans in rivers. On ocean beaches its a different story
Check out this one out, I grew up swimming in that river every summer
A few years back I wrote on here somewhere about seeing a bull shark while my kite lines tangled back to front, in chest deep water over the footy club side of Melville.
It did 2 runs past me about 10 ft away then i saw the ragged fin come straight at me and disappeared underwater... I stuck my kiteboard in front of my legs, so if he took a bite - hed get nasty indigestion and buuger off.
Nothing happened except scare the daylights out of me. Managing to relaunch, i rode the board straight up the beach where the poleys are.
They said it was a dophin Dolphins don't have Ragged trailing edges on there fins !
I saw something dark submerge in front of me last week at Attadale. I only saw it momentarily but kept my eye on it for as long as I could. At the time I thought it was probably a bird but I didn't see anything resurface. My mum always said what you dont see dont hurt you but I'm not so sure.
