My childhood and teenage days on Bondi Beach were regularly punctuated by shark alarms. As we all scrambled out of the water as fast as we could, there was no doubt as to who was the victim and who was the predator. A new exhibition at the Australian Museum, Sharks, aims to turn this view on its head: we are the predators and sharks the victims. This is a big ask for many of us!
So off I went to see the exhibition with Professor Bob Kearney. Bob is a fisheries management expert and I’m pleased to say, makes a welcome return to Arts Wednesday – not to mention a great partner to review this exhibition.
