There was a lapse in the rain and so we decided to have a picnic on the beach at Hillary's Boat Harbour on Sunday. There's a beautiful stretch of beach at the harbour which has a child's playground and the sea is calm and clear.
However, when we got there the beach was closed due to sightings of a 4m Great White shark, just off the pier. There had been a carcass of a dead 15 tonne humpbacked whale washed up onto the shore which had attracted the sharks.
It was like something out of Jaws ... guards patrolling the beach and anyone entering the water (including paddling) were immediately asked to get out.
Freaky, scary and exciting all at the same time!
