If you go in the ocean, its like crossing the road !

There was a fella mauled to death by a shark, off Cairns this week, bit his leg and he bled to death before they could reach Cairns Base, obviously doesn't make the news and an increased amount of sharks found / caught in local waters too.

Local lad also got mauled by a croc at Lake Tinaroo this week (just washin' his face in the water and...SNAP!!!!!)

Seems we have the lot here :- sharks, crocs and stingers, not big news tho', 'cos it's regional....

This is the reason i dont go in the sea, ever. Yes i know the chances of an attack are remote but they are there, if we were meant to swim in the sea we would have webbed feet, and also would a great white shark be welcome in your house? no, well stay out of his then.

You can imagine the panic I was in when the news started to dribble through. My son was out cray fishing with his pals about the same time. Different place, granted, but when the news of a shark attack anywhere dribbles through you kinda shit yourself.

I agree . It's their domain! However, when it's 35 degrees, then it's tempting - might just make it a paddle now!

2 great whites at once?! :scared: I reckon this is Jaws 28 material...where's that Speilberg chap? Close the beaches! That's what I reckon! - we need some serious action here.

My advice here is - BUY A POOL IN YOUR BACK YARD :D

Re: Shark attack in Adelaide
 

You'd need a big pool to go catching cray fish :D

Re: Shark attack in Adelaide
 

Bullseye! :D

I might HAVE to have a paddle though, all British-like with me knotted hankerchief and rolled-up trouser legs :cool:

Re: Shark attack in Adelaide
 

i have an inbuilt thing where if any part of my body touches sea water the theme tune from Jaws starts playing in my head. My kids are young and will be raised on the coast and the chances are they will swim in the sea, i am not even comfortable with that to be honest, but how can you stop them?

While my fear of sharks is immense i cannot stop myself watching TV programmes about them, totally fascinating creatures.

Too fu**in right mate and not in the least bit scared to admit it :D

Re: Shark attack in Adelaide
 

Mate, where are you heading & when? would have PM'ed you but your PM thing is turned off?

Re: Shark attack in Adelaide
 

Can't beat nature at it's finest!

I understand your fears but I'd rather have my kid paddling in the sea than driving around the M25 to get to Woking every day.

I guess all you can do is educate and warn them of the dangers of prolonged exposure to hazardous environments.
