On the left can be seen the anchor point and cable for the shark net. It was alleged that there were more holes in the shark net than there are holes in a Swiss cheese but I don't actually remember anyone being bitten.
An older friend told me of the occasion at Tarshyne when he had cut his foot on some coral but manfully carried on going in and out of the water. Up to, but not including, the point when a small boy came up to him and said, "My mother says that you'd better
off out of the water." On being asked why, the small boy apparently replied, "Because my mother says that you'll attract all the bleeding sharks!"
