Shearer, what do you mean? Water looked clear in the media. Was there a little backshore lagoon washed out and draining tanin stained water or something?

water wasn't clear by any means......vis has been 2-3ft here at the Ox, was probably 5-6ft in the Bay. It looked clear on the news and chopper footy but it most definitely is discoloured and murky from rain.

Anyway, thats seems irrelevant with GWS....most attacks on humans seem to be in sunshine, clear water, shallow etc etc....
