YES get your facts straight. Brisbane doesn't have much and that includes a beach. WA has lot of shark sightings and you didn't even mention any of it!!! And ummm how did a horse and a shark end up in the brisbane river anyway????? Anyway, everything has its risks right, don't scare people with your pathetic website. If you don't like sharks, then stick to this philosophy, ''Sharks don't come in the pub, so I don't go in the ocean''. Dude seriously stop scaring people and…

Very poorly researched, all the info was gathered by some moron after watching Shark Week on DSC. Here are 2 facts you should know about sharks. 1.)They occupy and inhabit every coastal water beach known to man. They may not be man eaters. They may not be over 4-5 ft., but they are there. I don't care if you are on S. Padre Island in Texas or Cape Cod in Mass, there are sharks. Your only concern in the U.S. should be the Bull Shark, they inhabit the Southern Atlantic sea shore and the Gulf of Mexico. They are man eaters, but will generally not kill their prey, just take an arm or leg. There are more shark attacks in Florida than any other region in the world. I would think that 90% are Bull sharks and a majority did not result in death. Whenever you swim in salt water you need to know that you are at risk. Coming from someone who used to regularly wade fish the inshore bays of Texas (where you frequently encounter sharks) the ocean/bay is a fun place, but you must always be careful.

Massive pythons will literally hunt you down and sink their fangs into you. Luckily they are not venemous. In saying that, spiders will kill you. And the spiders over here hunt in packs. And they carry weaponsn like small axes covered in a special acid that burns you. Eight legs, eight acid covered axes. Good times. Snake attacks too.

Last weekend 3 men and a child were taken by Great Whites in Redcliffe. They were swimming at dusk as I sat on the pier. Next thing I know, gone, leaving a huge pool of blood and a floating torso. The bugger came back 30 seconds later and gobbled that down too! Good times. There are huge amounts of shark attacks in brisbane.

I never heard of any sharks in the Philippines; only those about SHARK mayors, congressmen, senators, and SHARK loans... They would rip you apart, and tore you into pieces for having to pay taxes with no government services. You're lucky if you won't be bitten here, some local hospitals here don't even have cotton balls.... So beware..... Well….

Saw plenty of sharks, but they never bothered me. Now living on east coast USA and surfing a lot more, and again seeing lots of sharks all the time, way more than I saw in HI, but they've left me alone so far. If I do get bit? Well it would be my fault wouldn't it? It's not the shark's fault he's doing what years of evolution have taught him to do in his own territory. I mean, if they come to my house I might bite them, but chances are it'll be the other way around. If you just think about the statistics, you're relatively safe.
