Shark Alarm.....I was down at the beach today bodysurfing, and a shark totally came in close to the beach. A loud siren went off, and everybody (about 300 people probably) got out of the water. The lifeguards were out on jet skis and the police helicopter came down and circled around the shark, which was quite far away from most people. They chased it away and everyone got back in. Happens every couple of months, apparently. I bought a plane ticket to Darwin today, on the advice of Iotam, one of my roomies, who is from Israel. He said don't delay on the coach, which costs the same and takes about 6 more days to get there. Lots of jobs picking mangos await, and the season starts soon. I leave here on Thursday, destination? The Outback. You'll see it when I get there.
