[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 245146, member: 1991"] Sharon/WO, you snuck in on me. Enjoy the health club! Hi, Kjs. Two shark attacks in two days. Both were in the water at risky times - dusk and dawn. The first was a Navy diver at Garden Island (right next to difficult child 3's school) who lost a handand may still lose a leg. Suspected bull shark. The second was a surfer at Bondi Beach, just outside the Sydney Heads and to the south. Shark unidentified, but MO could be bull shark. He's had his hand reattached, both are still in hospital. The surfer actually paddled himself in to shore. We breed 'em tough. Most of the sharks in Sydney Harbour are placid and not a danger. But we get ocean sharks still coming in. Many of our beaches are actually netted, so they're safe from sharks. I think Bondi is also netted, but the surer must have been beyond the nets. Not sure about this one. Our village beaches are not netted, but nobody's been attacked by sharks in our area in the 30 years we've been living here. I do think there is a link to the fishing ban in the Harbour. The authorities may re-think the ban, which will be good news for husband's & my favourite restaurant at Watson's Bay - a seafood restaurant run by a fisherman's family, right on the beach. You can eat your dinner with your feet almost dipping in the water, if you choose. Barefoot and sandy, or a bit more formal inside if you prefer. Maybe we need shark on the menu? Marg [/QUOTE]
