Sharks Seen Swimming Down Australian Streets

[wraggster]

As if the flood waters weren't bad enough for the people of Queensland, it now appears that there are sharks swimming in the streets. Two bull sharks were spotted swimming past a McDonald’s in the city of Goodna, Butcher Steve Bateman saw another making its way past his shop on Williams street. Ipswich councillor for the Goodna region Paul Tully said: "It would have swam several kilometres in from the river, across Evan Marginson Park and the motorway. It’s definitely a first for Goodna, to have a shark in the main street."

I had to laugh... "swimming past McDonald's" (there's a joke somewhere). :p


I wonder where the sharks will go when the floods have been sorted? Originally, the people feared gators in the streets and near their homes.

I would love to have one in my back garden, but I don't think any flood would reach where I live to even wash a shark ashore. :p

There is more chance of a lion escaping the zoo, as seen on the ch.4 documentary last night about Britain freezing, where they had to break the ice to prevent the lions crossing their territory. :cool:
