One daring Aussie has shocked the internet after being filmed taking a late-night dip in the middle of Sydney Harbour.
The surfer's wife, Maria Psillakis, told 9News, “If we can make a positive out of this loss, I just want to ... minimize the risk and perhaps prevent this from happening to another family” A woman is speaking out two months after her husband was fatally attacked by a shark at a beach in Australia.
The number of people killed by sharks in Australia is increasing, while climate change is upending the range of many dangerous species, sending bull sharks further south to Sydney and white sharks to Victoria and Tasmania.
Lukas Schindler, 26, and girlfriend Livia Mulheim, 25, are believed to have been filming a pod of dolphins at Kylies Beach in Crowdy Bay National Park, on the NSW Mid North Coast, when they were mauled. Mulheim was attacked by the 3m bull shark first before her partner suffered serious leg injuries trying to save her.
