The Brisbane River is big in the news these days. The photo above (taken with a Blackberry, so a little fuzzy) is from the Eagle St Pier. This is an area at the edge of the CBD with lots of restaurants and plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy a drink with a view. A couple of years ago, they spotted a dolphin swimming in this area. Now, further towards the sea but still within Brisbane, they have had numerous shark sitings. The one that really made the news was of a man in a kayak enjoying an early morning paddle when a bullshark surfaced beside him! It was 3m long, easily bigger (and stronger) than his kayak. Once this story came out the City Cat operators said that they weren't surprised, as they have seen numerous sharks not just surfacing, but LEAPING out of the water, early in the morning. Apparently, they are feeding on the bats.
This is one crazy place!
