A bloody name change won't stop any bloody shark attack. Anyhow there are not many shark attacks in Port Phillip Bay, but on the actual southern coast line of the state - Great White's do their hunting - and you don't fiddle around with those monsters.

We call people from the State of Victoria - "Mexicans" That is: They are south of the border - that's the Murray River. South of the border in the USA is Mexico. Funny people in Victoria. Sports crazy - Melbourne, the capital, is referred to as the Sports Capital of the World.
Each state here as a Nick-name - not complimentary. Qld: Cane Toads NSW: Cockroaches SA: Crow-eaters WA: Sandgroppers

I didn't know that Adam. There is a Shark Bay in the State of Western Australia.
Wow! Good to know in case I ever visit.
Very interesting. I love shark !
I'd certainly believe that one. That's as bad as naming a wilderness trail, Grizzlies Last Meal.
lol tourists sure wouldn't want to be shark bait
too funny...
LOL- Now THAT is funny!
That is a really clever thing to do, when you think about it! (lol) Thanks for the info. Hugs...
A wise choice
Shark bay sounds much better!

Yeah, I could see how the name Shark Bay might scare people away--especially if tourists are generally looking for a place to swim!
That name would probably make me stay away, unless I wanted to see sharks.
I thought black-tipped sharks were harmless? I doubt I'd take a chance.
Somebody in marketing knew what they were doing.
Well then I hope they had the sense to inform the sharks???
