Victorian bull sharks on the move

WFS Admin

A bull shark was seen in Victoria’s Mitchell River near Linds Bridge at Bairnsdale.

The shark was seen in the freshwater reach.

The Mitchell River is about 280km east of Melbourne.

Anglers have apparently reported more bull shark sightings in East Gippsland in recent years, with sightings between 90 Mile Beach and Marlo Beach.

The bull shark is one of the most dangerous sharks, being aggressive and turning up in freshwater and turbid tidal rivers, residential canals and shallow beaches.

Warming waters may be extending their range.
