I think they are way classier than that. Bali has never been a go to place for inner city types. Somewhere local and chilled, bogan free is more their style. He certainly won't be getting Gina's jet to fly around in like Barnaby or Scummo did.

Two feet is enough for a tiger shark, they happily chase large fish through the waves to grab a bite. The most common way to catch a big shark is from the beach, because thats where the fish are. Thats a big hint for survival, change of tide plus dawn and dusk are the big beach fishing times, also prime shark times. But rgmwa, your on point , if your not in the water you are normally safe. The more people in a area increases the risk. Surfers are particularly at risk as from below the look like a large Tuna, Mulloway etc or dolphin alone or a seal. Been killed fishing from a boat is also a nasty surprise- recently a game fisherman hunting Marlin in the big Port Stephens competition caught a large Bull shark? On his line and was dragged into the water never to be seen again. I assume the beast turned the tables and lunched on him. I expect that this may be the cause of many a lost fisherman out solo, boat found perfect and sometimes trolling along, no one on board. A freak accident? No, surprised it doesn't happen more. I have seen guys in a 12' tinny come in with a 2.5 metre shark onboard and they videoed getting it aboard still alive and thrashing- life may be short for those young fools. Instagram fame can have a very short life. We call sharks the taxman, they deserve their fair share and essential for a well run ecosystem. Many a big fish comes up from the deep just a head on the line minus 20 kg of body. Mother nature does not care how big your game boat is, nor your harbour address. Doesn't give a shit about YouTubers, holiday heroes or even salties like me. Once you enter the salt water, you are at her total mercy. Beware of entering the liquid jungle, there's Tigers below.

Yep, but most folks esp tourists think the sign is just being over cautious or part of the " Aussies scaring tourists lark". Sadly most signs get ignored. People on holidays seem to ignore the risk of all the dangerous stuff they would normally never do, but do, to fit in the holiday experience and get the footage for Instagram etc. Most tourists seem to leave their brain at home and dose up on ego pills. It's not just foreign tourists but Sydney people that cause a lot of grief. Fuckwits on jetskis are a particular problem.

Which news? ABC said a local 7 day jaunt.

Well done to the happy couple. Note how low key, private and billionaire free it was. Special wedding beer cans and a local honeymoon. Also a civil servant and all paid by himself not a conga line of donor suckholes ala LNP style. A genuine down to earth couple, we are lucky to have them. Completely unaffected by his status. Naturally DJ Albo did the music selection. Notable celebrity was the ring holder- his 🐕.

Sadly , it appears my mate 'Boris' the bull shark has been greedy feeding and eaten a Swiss tourist and mauled her boyfriend on a local beach just up the coast a little bit. Tragic but completely avoidable, they were swimming at sunrise to film dolphins feeding. This is absolute maximum danger time to be eaten as that's when the bait fish accumulate. Anything in the water in the low light conditions can be mistaken for a big fish or seal and will be bitten. Most sharks will spit a human out, but a Bull shark will just eat regardless. Hopefully it will not lead to the senseless killing of more sharks locally- they are just doing their normal thing. It's us humans that need to be careful. My condolences for the tragic death of the women and I hope he recovers quickly. We have had many deaths along the coast recently and all involved extremely poor decision making from night swimming , surfing in extreme weather, rock fishing with no safety gear etc. Mostly tourists or newer immigrants but us locals sure can be stupid as well. We must remember enter the water at your own risk, it never forgives mistakes. You also risk the lives of anyone trying to help you either by been attacked themselves or drowning trying to help you. Sadly the local coast will see many avoidable deaths over the summer esp with tourists doing things way outside their skill base and experience. Stay safe people. Boris does not need humans for food.

Sounds like bullshit to me

The mighty brick 42 years and going strong. They have become a big deal in the modded cafe racer scene. https://youtu.be/YcSDnvT5VZ0?si=3zI_ZqKRRQ-6MRSB

Agreed, sharks are complaining about the poor quality of tourists.

Sure, Just fly in and land at WilliamTown RAAF or maybe a Drifter on floats to motor to my boat.

No , it's aweful, stay away and keep safe from Jaws

They only bite on weekends when the tourists arrive.

Good you bought some good riding gear for the cold. For summer or any spirited riding, get some actual leather gear ie a jacket, gloves and preferably leather or at least Kevlar lined jeans. Nothing manmade provides the abrasion resistance of quality leather. Cow leather is great but Kangaroo is the absolute gold standard. For gloves, Roo skin is best for thin but tough. Ride by the motto- " better to leave a long dead cows skin on the road than your own".

Beautiful riding weather here in Port Stephens....waters calm, fish biting and a 167 HP steed awaits.

Good luck with the bike. Use the Piano theory for riding and you will be safe, it's worked for 40 years for me. Stay shiny side up.

Mr cash for comment You could trust John to spin anything to advantage himself and make us feel he was the voice of truth. You pay and he will say The blueprint for Alan Jones et al.

Onya bike buddy .. Good to see Stay shiny side up

The seat and peg placement look comfy like some big scooters. Electric bikes are coming but range is a big issue for touring

I note the front end is very similar to my BMW K12r, but with a silly rake angle. Looks cool but not practical, but that's never stopped motorcycles before.

The coffee culture is certainly a uptake of Italian coffee here in Australia. We are now considered one of the premium coffee cultures in the world. Even Americans with taste buds seek the Aussie version as takeaway, so Aussie chains are taking over from Starbucks. In recent food Olympics, Australia was number one for coffee. We also grow premium coffee in northern NSW and southern QLD.

Sympathy for the devil my friend. BMW make the the best big bikes in the world. The smaller ones not so much.. It feels and looks like new, far better condition than me. I have shaved the big grey beard and long silver hair, hopefully they will mistake me for a young hipster..

I just went and bought a new to me Zoot scoot.. BMW K1200R A bit on the slow side with only 163hp.. I promise to ride slowly or at least try officer.. A absolute blast to ride and in fantastic condition except rear diff needs new bearings and seals. Not bad after 121, ooo km, far better than constantly replacing chains and sprockets, which it would consume every 20-30,000 km. When new in 2005 it was the fastest naked Bike on the planet, still looks like a new model. One happy rider and yes, you touch my scoot, I use you as shark bait.

I agree driver training is the answer. My nightmare stretch is the Hay plains, damn dangerous dusk till dawn. I have touched a grey in Blue mountains in a car and a big grey glanced the front wheel down south on BMW bike. No hurt no foul, both were on bush tracks and slow. Us humans have removed vast tree cover ecosystems and replaced it with grasslands and artificial water sources. A perfect Roo environment has been created. It's our fault and we have to live in harmony or at least not conflict with nature. Bounties should be placed for introduced feral animals to totally remove them from the country- the damage they do is extreme. If it does not live on your farm and managed as live stock, it should be culled to zero. That means all goats, cattle, horses, buffalo, camels, pigs, cats, foxes, rabbits, deer, feral dogs etc Dingoes and all other natives must be completely protected as they balance the ecosystem and are native. Limited culling only by professional shooters of Roos for meat, skins and welfare reasons only.. no cowboys or gun junkies. This is a role for a dedicated federal government department with a big workforce on country to implement. The employment, environmental and farm benefits would far outweigh the costs. This should be seen as a national goal and beyond politics but essential to a liveable and sustainable planet. New Zealand is aiming for Zero ferals by 2050. We should do the same.

Sadly no matter how much you take the piss... They are still full of shit
