Sunny coast shark watch?

Afternoon lads,

Buzzing around on the weekend I heard on the airwaves an aircraft conducting some sort of 200ft operation along the sunshine coast. Being pre-occupied with coming over the fence at 80kts I missed what kind of ops he was conducting.

Does anyone know what kind of ops and what company does this?

Sounded like a shark patrol or something similar?

I'm fairly sure the aircraft you are referring to is a Westpac coloured squirrel that patrols the beach from Caloundra up to Noosa and back a couple of times a day on the weekends.
