in an estuary is normally a ray, will be interesting to see if it was a shark

The article definitely says it was a bite, so it doesn't sound like a ray was the culprit.

I wouldn't take a newspaper as gospel on shark bites (or even white tail bites)

Just adds to the excitement really.

Walking in an estuary at 2am in the morning...! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
