Ohh the soccerball, OK yeah I've heard about them in the news.
BBC News | Asia-Pacific | Police get tough on 'Quokka Soccer'[
With no swell and rainy weather there is not much surfing happening locally. However, the abalone season starts in about two weeks, which means gazillions of people in the water at 8am.
My housemate just told me that he had read about the latest incident before they released a name, realized he hadn't seen me for a few days, and started to worry. Weirdly, that was a common reaction among people I know.
And Kev, South Australia also has a rep for sharky waters...but probably still better to contend with sharks in the water than crocs or jellyfish.

Forgot to update this thread. http://www.busseltonmail.com.au/news/local/news/general/busselton-city-councillors-husband-dead-after-fatal-shark-attack/2507354.aspx This is also in my hometown. A quarter of all fatal shark attacks worldwide in the last year have been in Western Australia.
In a related aside.
Now I must admit one of these of signs would be the piece de resistance of your man cave but it's pretty low to steal one. Probably they should just send that ranger to the beach to keep people out of the water. Scares me more than the sharks, that's for sure.

She wears a belt because of Sharking.
Holy ****! HELI-SHARK!!In a related aside.
You guessed it. Number 5 inside a year.
That can't be good news.
Haven't been out on a board at the closest surfable (sometimes) beach since this happened: http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/13991272/mullaloo-shark-attack-like-an-explosion/
I was in the water snorkeling around (elsewhere), checking out a bit of reef when a chopper went over. Thought it was a bit unusual. Saw the news about the surfer at Wedge posted on a fishing board before it hit the mainstream news outlets. The account from the guy on the jetski is pretty horrifying.
Also, though it was north quite a ways, there was this. Video is worth checking out. F that!

Note to self, gtfo the sea when our Greggy comes for a dip.
Another one, unbelievable.
Me and the boy were on this beach a year or so ago, there's a plaque for a surfer taken there in 2004.

On a slightly lighter note...
On a slightly lighter note...
Not a fatal, for the human at least, but a fairly horrifying attack. Bunbury is where Partsbara is from. Must give the old creaser a ring.
And a timeline that I found interesting. Long list.
After a fairly quiet 18 months, just a few maimings, there has been 2 fatalities in a week.

Pretty shit really.
Imagine it from the shark's perspective.
"Tried grabbing a bite to eat off off XXX beach. Thought I found a tasty seal but it ended up being some stringy bony white person, spat the shit out, would not eat again.
. Almost as bad as when I picked up a date of the coast of Thailand and she ended up having claspers tucked underneath her pelvic fin."
