Large groups of sharks threaten Australia beaches

24 March 2009 - Large groups of sharks were spotted along the Gold Coast, in Queensland, Australia, hunting big schools of bait fish off some of the country's most popular surf beaches.

A few beaches were closed once the sharks began moving closer to shore. Even lifeguards were on the look out for dark clouds of bait fish moving along the coastline.

One lifeguard accounts seeing a group of sharks moving along the north end as they followed a large school of bait fish. They were also being followed by helicopter crews.

Despite these conditions, two surfers were braving the conditions and were spotted surfing near a school of bait fish.

@g0bliin they're not.

look at the angle of the tail fin.

sharks have vertical tail fins and they're the only fish of that size in those waters.
