A Brisbane woman has been killed in a shark attack at
Amity Point, North Stradbroke Island near Brisbane. She was
swimming
about 15m (49ft) offshore when she was attacked in water which had
become murky and muddy after a recent storm. Police believe
that
possibly three bull sharks could have attacked the young woman as they
are known to be aggressive during mating season. Before you
start to
worry, let’s put this into perspective: there have been 10 fatal shark
attacks in Australian waters in the past five years.
