It's our school holiday period over here (Perth) & all sorts of things are
on. The Royal Show, the annual Variety Club Bash & the month long
Oktoberfest. Spring is certainly in the air folks & its not only the
animals that are going crazy :-)

Yesterday the Hillary's swimming beach was closed due to shark sightings. a
2M oceanic blue shark came in to the shallows & was filmed swimming around
under the jetty & up to 2M's from the shoreline. At first the locals
thought the shark was preparing to birth but the Water Police reported it
was injured & in distress with a huge fish hook & a length of line in its
dorsal fin.

About the same time a white pointer 4.3M long was spotted off Scarborough
Beach ... where we lost 2 swimmers due to rips in the last 2 days. Neither
body has been recovered.

And, up north at Derby the Rangers have put out a warning to boat owners to
keep an eye out for crocodiles while launching their boats off their boat
trailers. Been a few close calls with the snappy fellas.

Thank goodness we are diving off Rockingham this Saturday instead of off
the local beaches for first official UW camera club dive.
