Sharks and the unknown
In June last year, I witnessed something I thought I would only read about in the newspaper: a shark attack. They say you have more chance of getting struck by lightning than being attacked by a shark. I wasn’t attacked; however, my husband and I were the first on the scene at a Northern NSW beach where another surfer was attacked. Sadly, a three-metre great white shark took his life.
The experience was horrific yet humbling. It would have been more traumatic for the two men who paddled him into shore; one his friend and one a stranger.
