Show Notes
On Anzac Day 1935 in the popular beachside suburb of Coogee, the Sydney locals were commemorating the Anzacs and making the most of another glorious Autumns day. Beach aquariums were the in thing at the time, and Albert Hobson had managed to catch and deliver a four metre long tiger shark as the new popular attraction.
When the shark began to act strange, almost as though it was going to die, onlookers became intrigued and anticipation started to grow. What happened next is one of the most bizarre and mysterious yarns that to this day, still doesn't have a definitive answer as to what actually happened, and why the shark vomited up a human arm.
