SYDNEY, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) --- Swimmers were cleared from Sydney' s world famous Bondi Beach following a large shark moving into swimming areas.
Two loud alarms were aired across Australia's most popular beach on Thursday afternoon when swimmers and lifeguards spotted the man-eater prowling in the surf, local authorities announced.
It was the latest in a series of incidents involving sharks attacking swimmers and surfers close to the shoreline in Australia.
The sharks have been drawn in from deep sea by the annual northern migration of giant schools of bait fish on Australia's east coast.
The small fish gravitate close to the shore to avoid sharks -- but surround swimmers and surfers at popular beaches.
One man has been killed and two others remain in hospital after attacks in the past three months on Australia's east coast, while others are still recovering.
