Thanks looks like surf tourism to Norfolk is a real opportunity

Interesting WA and NSW trends are almost identical
I'd hazard a speculative rough guess the growth rates are a little more than population growth, people taking up surfing, and social media crap combined.

Something else to consider is that the data contains only confirmed attacks. It does not make reference to near misses or what they're calling encounters, and theres been a ship-load of shark "encounters" up here of late.

(yes I could have written up here lately, but no)
