These two bull sharks were chasing a loggerhead turtle at Julian Rocks, Byron Bay. I'm not sure how the turtle fared. Bull sharks are very rarely seen here; I'm not sure why.
Leopard Shark at the Needles, Byron Bay. These fish are exceptionally friendly and swim up to see divers as closely as possible. They don't have sharp teeth.

This white-tipped reef shark ended up at Julian Rocks, and has been there for over a year. It's very rare to see them south of Moreton Island, but she's very happy and stays in a regular spot each day.
This whaler shark went hooning past while hunting at the southern tip of Fish Rock. The other fish stopped moving and started to sink - they were terrified.
Grey Nurse Shark at Byron Bay with fish hook and metal tracer wire. This shark would have eaten a fish on a line; and subsequently escaped with the remains of the wire. It will probably starve and die as a result of this injury - the green algae on her teeth shows that she isn't eating enough food to keep her teeth clean.
