RE: The Queen of Beaches... Henley

in #beach6 years ago (edited)

I can kind of understand the shark fixation. A few years ago the Surf Lifesaver helicopter set the alarms off when we were having our picnic at the beach. People weren't getting out the water, so the on land guys were having to tell them to get out. The helicopter was hovering not far off shore and the shadow of the shark in the water was bigger than the copter! 😨🦈 Once everyone actually realised how real it was, they stayed out of the water, even after it had gone. Except maybe a few brave ones in no further than their ankles. With fish stocks getting low, we're getting more attacks on swimmers.

Interestingly, the day the girls went jetty jumping a small airplane was circling and the sirens came on. No-one budged though and they went off and left shortly after. False alarm maybe. Big seal?
