It's normal where there are shoals of fish as the sharks feed off them. Happens at times on the gold coast.

Quite normal for this time of year, probaby closer than normal but it's an amazing sight.

Quite a sight - a case of 'how many fish can I fit in me gob at once today then?' :eek:

L REMEMBER a few years ago there was some poor woman in Queensland who had both her arms and a leg bitten off by a pack of tiger or bull sharks l think she made it back to shore but died from blood loss.

That was in 2006 and was quoted as "It is the first fatality on a Shark Safety Program protected beach in Queensland in 44 years."

It was not far from us, and one thing that was mentioned in the local paper was that the local fishermen throw their fish scraps into the water, unwittingly attracting the sharks.

Was that the case on Straddie = the young girl who went with a church group and swam in a channel?

Amity Point wasn't it? Dar dar, dar dar, dar dar.......

Re: Tiger sharks feeding frenzy QLD ??
 

I think of her every time there's a shark attack. Her parents sent her off on a church camp where they assumed she'd be safe and she died on a beach without them ever getting to say goodbye. That one really got to me.

Re: Tiger sharks feeding frenzy QLD ??
 

Yes, as soon as they said Amity Point I thought of Amityville.

They were Bulls not Tigers and that girl did everything they suggest you shouldn't (ie: swim alone at dusk or dawn, near an estuary and after it had been raining)

Yeh, that's it:eek:

Yeh, it was really sad I think she was only young, 18 ish I think I didn't realise she had her arms and legs bit off though, poor buggar:(

21-year-old holiday maker Sarah Whiley.
She was swimming with three other friends.
It was a hazy summer afternoon .
The young woman was in chest-high water .
It was a shark protected beach, but locals say that the Amity Point Beach was probably not a wise place to swim late in the afternoon.

ANNA BLIGH: it is a timely reminder that our shark safety measures are not fool-proof.

to be fair mate, have you seen the place? kids all swim there, it's a local swim area, kids of all ages at all times of the day. The poor kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Just how it happens, no one to blame,no rhyme nor reason.

The sea belongs to those big fluckers and if they're hungry they're gonna get you:(

It's like putting a thong on a ten tonne arse:eek:

Shite fit, no use whatsoever:lol:
