The ones in the news at Whitfords were strange. Middle of day, 3m tiger in knee deep water almost beaching themselves. 4 separate sharks in a couple of days
People cleaning fish in the marina?

Its a dog beach, so its highly likely that a couple of pooches frolicking in the shore break attracted the sharks.

Maybe, I was thinking the beach was down near Hillary’s but it’s closer to Mullaloo

This is interesting. Shark #849 has been pinging the receiver for 5 days.

Do you still surf when there’s pings, toots?

Yes.
Just have the DPI on my Twitter feed and this lot looked like a bit of an anomaly

And IMO the receivers might be great for gathering data but worth bugger all for those actually in the water.

Dunno. The clubbie on tv reckoned he'd been working the beach for 40 years and barely seen sharks there before

Six days now. Thought they’re not supposed to hang around the one spot. That or it’s karked it and rolling around the bottom near the receiver.

Today
by Katie Thompson, Beneficiary
Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share an update with you all. Our beautiful baby girl Elka was born on the 8th of January. So far she is pretty chilled out like her Daddy. Wherever Tim is now I’m sure he is proud of his girls.

I don’t know how I can ever express how grateful I am for your donations. I am absolutely blown away with your generosity, thank you! While it doesn’t bring Tim back, it certainly helps to make sure I can provide Elka with the life that Tim and I dreamed of.

Lots of Love
Katie x

That’s the problem with not enforcing the bang stick solution

See that hefty Bull shark that beached itself at Balmain. A couple buzzing the pier at Kirribilli as well.

No way I’d swim in the harbour. No fucking way.
