Apparently they're not that keen on ALL tourists. Like any flesh eating mammals, they are reluctant to take the time to extensively have to clean their food first, ergo, they don't like Poms.
Yanks, however, normally have a bit of a tub before they enter the water, so cleanliness amongst their potential victims is not a priority for our noahs up this way.
Basically, if you're an American, try not to bathe for few days before you enter the ocean over this way (the sharks will assume that you're a Pom, and thus steer clear)...for Poms, have a clean up on the morning before you head into the surf. The sharks will assume you're a yank, and therefore fairly unpalatable anyhow.
Just a thought,
Cheers,

Yep, the sharks have been rather vicious as of late here in WA. Last year was a rough year too as I recall. And at popular spots - Cottesloe is one of Perth's best swimming beaches and Rottnest is at the top of most visitor's Must Do list. I predict Singaporeans fleeing in droves.
I reckon the Queen won't be jumping in the pond while she's here this weekend.

Also lots of attacks in the Red Sea this year not jusr Oz
But worldwide shark attacks are down this year
Humans not a menu item for sharks too bony
usually a culinary drive-by that goes astray
Shark attacks territorial or feeding misshaps usually
Humans in black especially look like big fat seals
Just smear yourself all over with vegemite like locals do.
No shark will touch you...

If you look at man V sharks then man must be the worse of the two 'cause if you consider that NYC including Queens, Statten Island etc is roughly the polulation of Australia then in NYC you are about 20 times more likely to be murdered than eaten by a shark in Australia, whether you are fat or not.
Perhaps you should visit Australia mlqb and then you could really get some good stats with which to bore us with.
