Great white suspected of attack on Bondi surfer

The Sydney Morning Herald are reporting that scientists have examined the wounds sustained bya surfer on 12th February, and concluded that they were caused by a 2.5 metre great white shark.  Glenn Orgias was bitten while surfing at Bondi beach at around 8pm and suffered severe injuries to his hand. He is now stable in hospital.

Two days earlier a navy clearance diver was injured at Woolloomooloo by what is believed to have been a 2.7 metre bull shark.
