First day of October ..... Summer is nearly here.

Might be quite a few weeks before Summer actually starts for you mate, but at least you're into Spring now and working toward the TOO HOT temperatures that you folks call normal!   ;c)

Had all the ceiling fans on already, bedroom one has been going all night for a couple of weeks and all windows open.
We don't really have a Spring, its cold and your throwing logs on the fire for our FREEZING 8°C - 12°C (ok sometimes it gets a lil' colder) nights and then boom its HOT.

For the first time in living memory we have a 8'-10' Great White shark in the Estuary that's was chasing and balling up a school of salmon off the beach and made its way over the sandbar and inside.
We've had Grey Nurse sharks before but never a Great White.

The pics below are about 20 metres in front of our home as its feeding on a school of mullet.

Its the school holidays here and there's a fair few holiday makers and I haven't seen a single person swimming or even on a stand up paddle board!

" I haven't seen a single person swimming or even on a stand up paddle board!" You show a large shark feeding on Mullets and wonder why no one is swimming ? I'm thinking "he'll no" I ain't getting in that water unless a submarine is around me 😋

Jenny is with you Bruce.....she'd like to see it dead hanging upside down by its tail so she knew it was gone out of the lake, they are a protected species in Australia.
It hasn't been sighted for around a week, so hopefully its made its way back out to the ocean.....but who knows and that's the problem!
