... wait for no man. Shark-proof enclosures abound on the still, warm beaches within Sydney Harbour. This is Clontarf, yet again, which is on the eastern side of the Spit Bridge. There have been 30+ fatal shark attacks within the entirety of the harbour, the first in 1791, and the most recent in January 1963. I guess they make an impression on the general populace. The enclosure at Clontarf was constructed in 1949. The Mayor at the time was Bob Scharkie. |
