  • Kayaking out from Apple Tree Bay in Sydney's North. There were people swimming around boats in every bay. I wonder if they would if they saw this video? Captured on a GoPro inside a TrollPro.

    been fishing, swimming, diving and do spearfishing in the river for a number of years, yes it's packed with small sharks only, nothing to worry about, they leave to the ocean in certain age and size, usually they are my dinner not the opposite lol

My house was next to the boat ramp and spent the vast majority of my summer nights fishing those waters, never seen what you claim, I don’t say it’s none exist but i say never me or my neighbours who lived there for way longer than i did witnessed such thing,

    A couple of years back I was winding in a small tahwhine and it was intercepted by a small bull shark. That too was in Cowan Creek.
    The following week a pommy tourist asked if it was safe to jump in and swim around there from her house boat. "Funny you should ask that question......"

    More likely to drown from the undertow in the Hawkesbury. They jump off the river boats and don't resurface. Victims pop back up eventually and curiously, aren't mangled by sharks.

      ANIMAL SPECIES:Bull Shark, Carcharhinus leucasValenciennes, 1839
      The Bull Shark is one of the few sharks that are potentially dangerous to people and is probably responsible for most of the shark attacks in and around Sydney Harbour.
      The species is also the only widely distibuted shark that stays in fresh water for long periods of time to feed and breed. Females sometimes give birth in river mouths were the young will live for up to 5 years.Standard Common Name
      Bull Shark
      Alternative Name/s
      The Bull Shark has also been called the River Shark, Freshwater Whaler, Estuary Whaler and Swan River Whaler.
      Identification
      The Bull Shark can be recognised by a combination of characters including a stout body, short blunt snout, triangular serrated teeth in the upper jaw and no fin markings as an adult. The species has a second dorsal fin about one third the height of the first, a small eye, and no skin ridge between the two dorsal fins. It is grey above and pale below, sometimes with a pale stripe on the flank.
      Size range
      The species grows to a length of 3.4 m.
      Distribution
      This species has a widespread distribution in tropical and warm temperate waters worldwide. In Australia the Bull Shark occurs from south-western, Western Australia, around the northern coastline and down the east coast to the central coast of New South Wales.
