That's a fairly big 'mudder'.
This has been a problem of late, is that they attracting the sharks closer inshore with 'chumming' (throwing remains of fish/meat into the sea). The result is that there has suddenly been a marked increase of attacks on swimmers and surfers.

Why don't psychics alert us to this kind of event ??
That way us evildoers could position a boat of ugly German nudists (or,...Greenpeace activists !!!) in the Great White Shark's arc,...
LIFE IS SO UNFAIR,... :eek

HAY,

Great White Sharks are a protected species in OZ, we don't want them badly nourished eating crap like that. Can you imagine just how bad the nutritional value would be if they started eating overweight German geriatrics ?

Funny enough I have just watched a documentary on a sequence of shark attacks in New Jersey in 1916 which were most probably Great Whites and this apparently was the original of the JAWS movie.

Still, if you are ecologically minded and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, the place to do this is in South Australia in some of the bays and inlets where you are just about garranteed to be eaten if you go swimming there.

This is pretty funny.
I'm thinking that maybe the reason sharks have survived for 400 million years on theis planet is because,...they ARE psychic,...
...Admittedly, kind of a bizarre theory,...but, I imagine there are research grants frantically looking for a concept like this,...

We could seriously reduce California's HUGE prison population by scheduling soon-to-be--released felons for counselling and rehabilitation in these locations. We's have to lie to them,...and, tell them it's a nude beach,...
...Reality TV participants, too,...(since the losers all end up in jail in the aftermath anyway),...
