Looks like you already answered my question on the other shark, Dave. But 8
bull sharks in a couple of hours??? Combine that with man-eating
crocodiles, stingrays, box jellyfish, stonefish, bullrouts, and a myriad of
other nasty aquatic creatures, and it doesn't make swimming a very
appealing activity in the Top End does it? ;-)
