NEWS FLASH from Australia
Snorkeller’s
ordeal after shark attack
A man attacked by a small shark off Newcastle
yesterday swam 300 metres, walked to his car and drove to a local surf club to
get help with the shark still attached to his leg. The wobbegong, or carpet
shark, attacked 22-year-old Luke Tresoglavic on Tuesday as he was snorkelling on
a reef off Caves Beach, south of Newcastle.
Tresoglavic said yesterday that when the 60-centimetre shark attacked him, he
"instantly grabbed hold of it with both hands to stop it shaking". "I just
realised I had to swim in like that, hanging on to it," he told the Sydney
Morning Herald. "Once I got onto shore, a couple of people tried to help me
but I couldn’t remove it. It was stuck there. "So I got up into my car and then
drove to the clubhouse and luckily the guys down there knew what to do."
Editors Note: A 'Wobbegong' (sometimes known as a carpet shark) shark
is a small docile shark. The above situation is unusual to say the least, and
the most dangerous point was the possible side to side shaking. Even with a
small shark this has the potential to cause injury. I have seen many of these
sharks whilst scuba diving, have photographed them ,and 'patted' their backs.
