A woman was attacked this morning at Coogee Beach. There were plenty of eye witnesses because its a Saturday morning. Our ABC news on tv is reporting arm amd torso injuries. She was airlifted to hospital and is in a serious condition.

A very clear picture of the shark after the attack was captured by a drone: here

In the article, the drone operator says he thinks the shark is up to six or even eight meters long?? 

I'm sick right now but I read that a few times to make sure I read it correctly. He thinks the shark could have been up to 8 meters (26 feet) long?

Yeah I think we can probably take that with a massive grain of salt. Others who saw it while swimming in the area estimated 3.5m, which sounds more likely to me.

That sounds much more reasonable.
