| New Zealand shares the same pattern as Southern Australia, where
nearly all attacks happen during November to April. The waters off Australia are a
popular haunt of the Great White, coming only second to California, USA
for recorded number of attacks, although some experts estimate that
there are fewer than sixty Great Whites in Australian waters at any one
time.
While New Zealand has seen very few attacks this century, Australia
has seen some horrific, bizarre and well documented attacks, like the
fatality of actress Marcia Hathaway and the strange 'Shark Arm Murder
Case'. To read more of these incidents and others that have occurred in
these waters see Famous Attacks.
