Bondi's big chill over - for now

Sydney beachgoers were given a welcome relief from an icy summer of swimming, when warm water returned to the coast. Now we can call it SUMMER. the weather was gay a month ago. but lately it has been so good, instead of the gay sun!! arghh, everything so gay. plus my wallet also gone.. ! stop!!

oh, the water temperature shot up like o fever overnight. it was around 21C, plus the sun shine so brightt!! and foremost, it's HOT!
The weather's hot and cold this summer so far, now the water's doing the same, so its pretty weird. Most ppl say that cold water at the beach is not uncommon during summer in Sydney but it generally passes in a few days. and what does make this unusual is how long it's lasted.
The sudden arrival of more pleasant swimming conditions was due to southerly winds blowing the warm water back to shore, but forecasters say the welcome sea change will be brief.

have fun. enjoy the summer!!

Shark partly swallowed diver

Diver partly swallowed by shark

Tuesday Jan 23 17:25 AEDT

An abalone diver told rescuers he was partly swallowed head-first by a Great White Shark in an attack off the NSW far south coast, but managed to fight his way free, suffering a broken nose and bite marks around the chest.

Diver Eric Nerhus, 41, was underwater with his 25-year-old son and other divers off Cape Howe, near Eden, when the 3m shark attacked.

Rescuers earlier mistakenly reported his age as 25.

"He stated that he was head-first into the shark," a spokeswoman for Snowy Hydro SouthCare rescue service said after airlifting the diver to hospital.

"When he came to us he was conscious and alert but had a broken nose and lacerations to both sides of his torso and chest — bite marks all the way around," the spokeswoman said.

Nerhus told fellow divers he didn't see the shark coming as the water was so dirty that visibility was severely limited.

"It was black. He didn't see it coming, but he felt the bite and then started getting shaken, and that's when he knew he was in the mouth of the shark," said local diver Michael Mashado.

The shark bit Nerhus around the head first, crushing his face mask and breaking his nose, fellow diver and friend Dennis Luobikis said.

"He was actually bitten by the head...the shark swallowed his head," said Luobikis, adding a second bite by the shark saw it clench its jaw around Nerhus' torso.

"The brunt of the bite was taken by his lead-weight vest. Its all over your torso. Eric said to me at the wharf that his weight vest saved him," he said.

Abalone divers spend sometimes 6 to 8 hours underwater and use lead weight vests, not lead belts, to stay down. The vests spread the lead weight across the body, minimising back strain.

Nerhus fought frantically to free himself from the shark's jaws and was eventually pulled back aboard his boat by his son.

"He pushed his abalone chisel into its head while it was biting and it let him go and swam away," said Luobikis.

Luobikis said it was a miracle his friend had lived.

"Eric is a tough boy, he's super fit. But I would say that would test anyone's resolve, being a fish lunch," he said.

Attacks by Great White Sharks are usually fatal because of the massive size of the predators, which breed in Australia's cold southern waters, and the sheer force of their bites.

Sharks, including Great Whites, are protected in Australia.

Australia has had a number of shark attacks in the past year.

In December, a surfer off the southern coast survived an attack with minor injuries, while a 15-year-old boy swimming off a remote southwest beach had his leg bitten.

Last January, a scuba diver off the Western Australian city of Perth survived an attack by a Great White after fighting it off with his speargun and then his hands.

A 21-year-old woman died last January after she was attacked by three sharks while swimming off an island on Australia's northeast coast. She lost both forearms and suffered wounds to the legs and torso.

Exclusive: Croc victim speaks

A police officer stared down a monster crocodile off the far north Queensland coast, seconds after the beast had dragged him under the water by his head.

In an exclusive interview with A Current Affair, Jeff Tanswell said he locked eyes with the reptile in the Torres Strait for an excruciating moment until the beast inexplicably swam away.

Mr Tanswell said he had dived beneath the water and was returning to the surface when the crocodile wrapped its jaws around his head and dragged him down.

"It was like someone got a big lump of coral and smashed it down on my head and everything went dark," Mr Tanswell said.

"It was like a massive pressure coming down and I felt like I was trying to get out from under something, and then I felt the bubbles and the water turbulence start."

Although the crocodile could easily have crushed its victim's skull, it suddenly let go of Mr Tanswell, who found himself face-to-face with the predator.

"I've popped up and looked over to my left shoulder for some reason and there he is . . . he's right there beside me," he said.

"We've locked eyes for half a second and then he's taken off. He shot off about three metres away from me and then went down.

"When I saw him take off . . . I thought, 'this is what I've read about, sometimes they come back for a second go. I'm a sitting duck here'."

It was at this moment that Mr Tanswell's wife Jane drove their boat between her husband and the man-eater — a decision that probably saved his life.

"Somewhere in there I've started the boat. I saw his head come up and I saw the croc's belly and back roll away from (Jeff)," said Mrs Tanswell, also a police officer on Thursday Island.

Mr Tanswell said he was sure his wife's quick action had saved him from a gruesome death.

"I've just locked my arm over the side of the boat and as I was looking down she's just reefed me in. It was a godsend," he said.

The couple described the moment as a turning point in their lives.

The Holiday

Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) runs a thriving L.A. marketing business and lives in Southern California. Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) writes the popular wedding column for London's Daily Telegraph newspaper and resides in a charming sottage in the English countryside.
Though Iris and Amanda live 6,000 miles apart, they are in exactly the same place: just before Christmas, Iris and Amanda decide to take a needed break from the men in their lives (played by Edward Burns and Rufus Sewell) -- and neither is much in the mood for a nostalgic chorus of Auld Lang Syne.
Amanda, wanting to get out of town for the holidays, stumbles onto an internet site that specialises in home exchanges, and find Iris's English cottage to be the perfect antidote to her troubles. On impulse, Amanda and Iris agree to crisscross the Atlantic and move into each other's home for two weeks.
Iris lands in Los Angeles on a spectacularly warm and clear day. Not long after she arrives at Amanda's Brentwood home, she is befriended by Miles (Jack Black), a film composer who works with Amanda's ex-boyfriend.
In England, where it is anything but balmy, Amanda is just setting into the cosy solitude of the snow-covered Rose Hill Cottage, when Iris's handsome brother Graham (Jude Law) comes knocking at the cottage door.
From Nancy Meyers, the director of WHAT WOMEN WANT and SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE comes this ensemble romantic comedy about the strange ways of love, the high price of neglecting your own heart, and discovering that the best trips are the ones where you leave your baggage behind.
