Just wanted to assure everyone here that we're safe from the Sharks at our local beaches. Amy, Steve, Ophelie and Delphi live at Merewether and visit the beach nearly every day and that is where that massive shark has been cruising! He is a Great White Shark nearly 5 metres long! He is a biggun!!!! Most people are taking heed, but we still have a few stupid people going in the water. Lots of talk about them here as you can imagine! Quote from our Sydney Telegraph newspaper.

"BEACHES in the NSW city of Newcastle are closed for a record seventh day straight after repeated great white shark sightings, with a dolphin being attacked off the coast. The beaches were first closed when a five-metre great white shark was seen on Saturday at Merewether Beach. Beach inspectors and helicopter crews will monitor the coastline on Friday after at least three sharks were sighted on Thursday.

1. The Great White Shark taken from the Helicopter!
2. Merewether Beach with swimmers not heeding the warnings. If you stay near the edge of the water and not out in the surf you are safe. It's school holidays here and having the beaches closed for the 7th day in a row has forced a lot of people to the local swimming pool centres. Business is booming there! Love Chris
