had a white swimming around the boat for the first time on saturday out the back of rotto. after seeing one of these up close, i agree, any encounter would result in the same outcome... scary beasts.

The GW will be required to attend counselling sessions and listen to a victem impact statement, before entering in to a good behaviour bond.
