GUIDE TO SURFING IN AUSTRALIA
Be Safe in the Surf
Australian beaches are magic - they're clean and big and free ... but they can also be very dangerous. Here are some basic precautions to help you enjoy your time at the beach: Do: · Swim on patrolled beaches, between the red and yellow flags · Comply with the directions of lifesavers · Watch children constantly when they're in the water · Take plenty of fresh drinking water to the beach · Protect yourself from the sun · Remain calm; if you get into trouble in the water, don't panic. Raise your arm for help, float and wait for assistance · Float with a current or undertow. Stay calm. Signal for help and wait for assistance. http://full-travel-review.blogspot.com/ |

A mother and her daughter were walking a beach in Australia, sharks were beaching themselves trying to reach them. They do this with seals as well, surf a wave in, grab the seal and roll back out with the wave, seal in jaw. Surfing in Australia....I don't think so. |

They got these real nasty spiders, even nastier snakes and neither of them are as venomous as their Sampras fans as evidenced here in rst. |

That's behaviour some groups of killer whales have, orcas, those adorable and majestic Free Willy beasts. ....I mean catching seals, not human.

Killer Whale is really a killer, it kills seals, sharks, everything, even whales of other species...Hence the name, whale killer...killer whale. Here's some footage featuring the seal hunting method I referred to. Taken from breathtaking BBC series Blue Planet(picture quality doesn't do justice) http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=5pCuUPLs2tc Somehow this reminds me of Nadal vs Federer at French Open... |

I believe it was a tiger shark going after people walking the beach, they were in a frenzy. They are extremely aggressive, right up there with the Great Whites. The tiger shark is a killing/eating machine. The killer whales are a little more evolved. They'll play a cat and mouse game with their prey. There was a TV series called Trials of Life that showed the nasty side of Orcas. The drag the seal out to sea and then play soccer with it. |
