00:01A popular place for fun with picturesque news.
00:06This Vaucluse swimming spot is closed today
00:09after a brutal shark attack on a 12 year old boy.
00:13Police have detailed a gallant rescue effort on Sunday afternoon
00:17by police, paramedics and by the boys' young friends.
00:21One boy definitely entered the water to pull his mate out
00:24and the other boys assisted them up from the water onto the rock platform.
00:29Unconscious on the rocks, water police arrived in just minutes.
00:34They applied first aid, the tourniquets were applied, they stemmed the bleeding.
00:38The boy was rushed to Rose Bay where paramedics took over
00:42before being taken to Randwick Children's Hospital in a critical condition.
00:46Authorities believe it was a large bull shark
00:50but say they're unlikely to identify the actual animal.
00:53It's a terrible, terrible incident. I feel for the family and the boy involved.
00:58The state government's beach watch site warns of increased pollution after rain
01:04but experts say there are other dangers.
01:07I don't think people understand that the bacteria, the raw sewage,
01:11brings bait fish and the bull sharks are following the bait fish.
01:15Nearby Shark Beach is netted off for safety
01:18but people jumping into the water in this spot are totally unprotected.
01:22Authorities are urging people to avoid jumping into the harbour
01:25particularly after heavy rain.
01:27You can't see the bottom of it, it's brackish water
01:30so I would recommend not swimming in the harbour
01:32or our other river systems across New South Wales at this time.
01:37Harbour beaches in the area remain closed
01:40with swimming only allowed in the nets at Shark Beach.
01:47It's an amazing place toư noise.
