In the latest episode of Usap Tayo, we discussed the recent shark attack incidents in New South Wales and shared practical ways for beachgoers to stay safe in the water.


Key Points
  • Beaches Closed Following Shark Attacks: Four incidents over two days in NSW led to temporary closures, including North Steyne Beach in Manly and a swimming spot in Sydney Harbour at Vaucluse.
  • Conditions That Attract Sharks: Heavy rain, murky water, and flooding push fish out of rivers, attracting hungry sharks; bull sharks are commonly found in estuaries and near cities due to warming ocean waters.
  • Practical Safety Tips: Swim between the flags, avoid murky water and river mouths after rain, never swim alone, and always heed warnings and signage from surf lifesavers.
