This just in on ABC news website here tonight. Carrum is, oh, about 10 kilometers south of here as the crow flies.

Shark school spotted off Melbourne beach

Police say a large school of sharks has been spotted about 100 metres off the beach at Carrum, in Melbourne's south.

The sharks are chasing salmon and were reported by Air Traffic Control. [!!!-Ed.]

Police says the sharks are not considered a threat at this stage.

Water Police and the Police Air Wing are on their way to monitor the situation.


Must be some pretty damn big sharks in order to be spotted easily from the air like that. I'm guessing any plans for a late night skinny dip is off the agenda. Hell, I'm not answering any knocks on the door tonight, either.
