Hopefully it doesnt confuse Duck Gybe mixed up with its dinner anytime.

www.smh.com.au/national/duck-shark-spotted-in-sydney-lagoon-20070118-gdp9iy.html

The sighting does come from the same neighbourhood as this dooozy

Location. Narrabeen Lakes New South Wales Australia
Date: April 3 1968
Time: 1345
While driving toward Newport, Mrs Mabel Walch and her nephew, John, saw a strange figure standing near the road in shallow water; just over 4 ft tall, it had dark gray, tough leathery skin, like an elephant, and with legs round and thick, like an elephant's. Its arms, or forelegs, were small, and as they watched, it ambled out of the water with "strange shuffling walk, but quite fast." They only saw it briefly before it ran into the scrub. Mrs Walch said "it's head reminded me of an anteater's trunk, was rigid, squared off at the end and stuck down and out at an angle." It had no ears, or tail, but it had small eyes.

Coincidence??? I dont think so ;-)

Wouldnt surprise me what came out of that lagoon. The mullet glow in the dark and the ducks are feral.
Although I doubt a shark could survive anywhere west of the Pittwater Rd bridge, the pelican itch would drive it nuts.
Its still a great sail in a westerly and sucks the nor-easter in.

I was once dragged under by an angry duck in Narrabeen lake. All because I ate a bread crumb that floated by. I hope it was that same duck that the shark ate.

I thought there was a shark in the lake and it had been in there for a while...
