OMFG!!
Sure, as Brian Guest, was quoted, "It goes with the territory." But, it still warrants an "OMFG!" from me.

The page Aloha's link leads to provides several clicky things to all kinds of Australia shark stories. Best one is the racing yacht and shark collision story.

Seems like Aloha is going to have to share his fave spot with the (big) man in the gray suit.

Nope, you had a 4m hammerhead tailing a lifeguard/swimmer at Cronulla yesterday :shock:

We've had loads in the last week - all the beaches from Bondi to Maroubra have been evacuated several times, and there's been a bunch of confirmed sightings. That 4m hammerhead cleared the lineup on sunday at maroubra as it had a munch on a big squid :shock:

It couldn't have happened at a nicer line-up. ;)

Seriously though, it's good no one has gotten hurt (yet?).
