Sharks

Further to June Mitchell's letter about the shark attack at Horsfield Bay in 1935, I recall reading a report that a 12-year-old boy dived into the bay and disappeared.

It was assumed he was taken by a shark, though his body was never recovered.

In the early 1960s, a man, John Orr, swam from South Woy Woy to Phegans Bay to test the waters so to speak.

We all breathed a sigh of relief when he returned unscathed.
