Harold Holt should've know better methinks.No self respecting shark would swim in Melbourne's very average bay.
They seem to like the holiday spots - where fools rush in to some quite stupid places to swim, like seal havens, and river heads, and tuna fishing grounds.
Honestly some people have no clue about the ocean, remember a whole dim family that drowned rushing into a back beach where the waves knock you off your feet.
The sea culls a lot of morons

I just posted this link in the doppelganger thread but I thought I'd post it here for those who don't read that thread because its one of my favourite blogs to time waste on and it's worth a look if you like old photos.
It's real 18th/19th/early 20th Century eye candy photographs of hot young men. The photos are amazing and really interesting. Some are famous men in their younger days, some random - all gorgeous!

Below..
Albert Ball, decorated British flying ace during World War I. Died at the age of 20 while pursuing the brother of the infamous (and also dashing) Red Baron through a cloudbank. (my note..these poor boys, they used to send them up fighting with only about 45 minutes flying time training under their belts. Average life expectancy was about 2 weeks)
Sexxxxxyyyy 1863 style. Calm down girls and boys....LOL

did you know you have seen the remains of stars & the big bang????
Remember this?
The old TV static from analogue broadcasting interruptions etc????
Well you didn't realise at the time you were looking at bits of stars!
A certain amount of the ‘white noise’ you see when TV channels are mistuned can be attributed to cosmic background radiation
(CBR) – taken as some of the best proof we have of the Big Bang , some aspect of the origins of the universe nearly 13.7 billion years ago, catch it while you can, too late here - what places still have analogue TV???!
And this is so Doctor Who like

They are. Imagine the amount of work and skill it must take to create them. I think the reverse sides are even more interesting than the 'proper' sides. They're kind of haunting.

There must be hundreds of hours of work in each one. It's an exceptional talent, not just the embroidery skill but the amazing artistic skill. They look like really good paintings at a glance, that fact that they're done with thread and not paint makes them 100x more impressive.

I'm doing a cross stitch of the Mona Lisa which has taken many hours and five years of work. This embroidery is excellent. Almost looks like many grains of long grain rice on the face. Love the colours in it. I thought at first glance that it was a picture of Aisha.

Have you ever looked at the pictures of dead Victorian people? Very interesting. Slightly disturbing and sometimes a bit funny but an insight into the past. I can't get over what good legs a lot of these blokes have.I just posted this link in the doppelganger thread but I thought I'd post it here for those who don't read that thread because its one of my favourite blogs to time waste on and it's worth a look if you like old photos.

When I went to LACMA in 2010, they had an entire exhibit dedicated to photos like the last one. It was awesome.

Dead as in Momento Mori pics? If so, then yes, I have. There are lots of them on Pinterest, although probably at least half of the ones on pinterest that say they are momento mori, aren't. They seem to think the posing stand was only used for dead people. It wasn't, it was used regularly just prevent movement for the long exposures. The other half of the pics are actually dead people though. It's a bit icky for us now but the Victorians had a different attitude to death than we do. Some are beautiful pics, some are quite disturbing, as you said. It's interesting how times change.
