[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 592912, member: 4485"] Bull Sharks, Hammerheads & Great Whites (no doubt other species too) all get into Lake Macquarie thru Swansea Channel. Surprising how many tourists think the lake is separated from the ocean & shark free. A Marine Biologist would know they're there & the risk (still low) but probably enjoys a swim too. It's the chance you take when swimming in any waters where sharks are. More shark sightings there over the last ~20 years are likely due to commercial fishing being stopped in 2002, better management & more mobile phones to capture sightings. Do a YouTube search, plenty on there. [/QUOTE]
