Quinns Rocks Tragedy
One man died and another was missing last night after a fishing trip for four workmates off Quinns Rocks went tragically wrong when their boat capsized and sank.
When I got up yesterday I could see how big the surf was, sadly for these people it cost them their lives.
The article says "The dead man was believed to have lived in WA for about a year while the missing man, 42, had been in WA for two months." I don't know if this means they were eastern staters of overseas immigrants but one thing I've heard is that the reefs of Perth are incredibly dangerous in a swell.
Very sad:

Re: Quinns Rocks Tragedy
Some people seem to carry on about sharks but ignore the real danger of the ocean, drowning, around 500 people drown a year in Oz compared to 2 people per year being killed by sharks.
