Whites love that clean, low turbidity water.
RIP fellow surfer.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
All things being equal, I’m surprised there are less attacks in Esperance and Albany than there are in northern NSW.
Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
Drones, tags, hooks and dead people have really brought the shark into focus
Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
Population I reckon:
Albany 33,000
Esperance 12,000
Walpole 500
Denmark 2,500
Etc
and its 1,600k from Augusta to Eucla

Sorry, thought that was shark attacks for a moment.

^^ they’re a bit more forthcoming with information than the NSW DPI.
Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
A new scientific paper!
Some very interesting observations.
Very interesting what’s not mentioned too.

It's all a bit pointless, there are heaps out there. I remember seals getting smashed out at Little Island without too much media attention.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
I'm starting to become blase about them, not sure whether that's a good thing or not though.
I think it was after surfing in Bali for so long knowing that no surfer in Indonesia has ever been killed or badly injured there by a shark, that makes oz seem way more dangerous.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
Wasn't someone attacked a while ago at Balian?
I always presumed it was because they had been fished out.
Shark Fin Soup anyone?

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
There have been a couple of minor injuries at Balian, bites on the hands but not for a few years, unless something I haven’t heard about more recent.
When I was there with my son a few years ago there were a few small sharks seen jumping in the line-up, small bull sharks maybe, never got a really good look, but very small.
Most recent one I know of the guy was bitten on the forearm and I think was wearing a shiny watch or jewellery, bad idea. The water is like a chocolate milkshake there after rain, the break is right in the mouth of a river.
Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
Yeah, two surfers at Balian, one about 10 years ago, one a few years ago. Both bitten on the arm but no permanent disability. That's it for the entire archipelago, can't get much better than that.
