News by Jane Hansen Premium Content   At Coledale beach on the 27th of February 1966, 14-year-old Bob Myatt witnessed a terrifying yet incredible site. A boy around the same age as him was pulled from the water by surf lifesavers with a 2.5m great white shark s jaws still clamped onto his right leg. The boy, Raymond Short, had been swimming when the shark grabbed his left thigh then let go. As Ray started swimming to shore, the shark swallowed his leg up to his knee. Raymond Short was attacked by a shark at Coledale beach in 1966 when he was 13. And so began Bob s 54-year-long obsession with sharks. As a registered researcher with the Global Shark Attack File (GSAF) which records attacks around the world, he has helped collate an incredible list of every shark attack in Australia since the First Fleet arrived in 1788.
