When I was in school there, many of my classmates who surfed had encounters with sharks frequently and were bitten bad. It is always amazing to me that the newspapers never carried such stories about the toads and the sharks, but us locals knew the truth......
Whereas Australians talk about it all the time, overemphasise it, tell the tallest stories and wink as we do so... then get shirty when tourists ignore the big signs saying "Crocodiles - Do Not Swim Here" (with helpful pictures of people getting eaten) and we've got another case of a tourist learning the crocodile roll.
Wow.. Thanks for the warning!!
