Occurred on January 23, 2020 / Noosa Heads, Queensland, Australia
Info from Licensor: "I drove to the Noosa spit on Thursday the 23rd in the morning at about 10:30 am by myself while my daughter and sister decided to stay at home. It was overcast weather and the water was a bit stirred up. I placed my belongings on the sand away from the other beachgoers probably 200mtrs away and walked onto the hip-high water. The tide was flowing out into the ocean. As I walked out from the seashore, I noticed how easy it was and noticed a dark patch about 10 meters in front of me, and something didn't feel right. On the beach, I could see people pointing, so I turned around and saw a huge fin emerge from the water, followed by the tip of a tail shortly behind. So, I grabbed my phone."
