I reckon they like beer.. and the only way they can get some is to chomp on beer drinker..
Since it is a crime to pour beer into the ocean here..
But then again I might be wrong there..

Naw. Its because the Aussies TRY to become dinner.
When I lived near Sydney I surfed on Bondi Beach. Look outs would call out a shark warning when a pack of a gazzillion leopard sharks or tiger sharks would cruise along the beach. The Aussies would CALMLY stroll to shore and when the sharks passed they would plunge back in so quick I'm sure they landed on sharks' tails.
On the other hand, I would CALMLY call it a day and find something else to do! (Like down a tinney or two or four)

Always loved the surf as a young fella...spent as many hours as I could at the beach.
Having grown up in the Western Suburbs of Sydney, I took every opportunity I could to escape to the beach. More often than not it was to South Cronulla or Narrabeen. On other occasions I would drive about 100 miles south of Sydney, just past Tikkat's neck of the woods, down to a place called Gerringong and Gerroa. A beautiful beach 7 miles long (called Seven Mile Beach strangely enough) with great surf and fishing.
Saw my first Bronze Whaler shark there when I was snorkeling off the headland. Big bugger, about 3 metres, with teeth that looked even bigger. My Dad reckon I "walked" on the water to get back onto the rocks.
Cheers, Vince
