Tamarama - Bronte Shark

From AAP (Monday about 4:30pm)


Lifesavers have cleared two of Sydney's eastern suburbs beaches after a shark was sighted in the water.

Lifeguards sounded a siren and cleared the water at Tamarama and Bronte beaches after surfers reported seeing a shark about 2.20pm today.

"Someone just came up to us and told us there was a shark out there," a Tamarama lifesaver spokesman said.

"Then a few surfers told us they saw a small bronze whaler shark, so we pretty much had to get everyone out of the water."

The spokesman said there were about 40 people in the water at the time of the sighting.
