The Wobbegong

THAT'S MY WORLD


I've never seen a wobbegong! They hide away from view.
But here's the proof I live near them, where the seas are clear and blue.
This shot was taken recently at Port Stephens, slightly north,
Where a happy-snapper chanced to see one swimming back and forth.
They're sharks but wont attack us, unless we queer their pitch.
But a bite from their sharp molars would need more than just one stitch!
Below I show a painting which reveals their ugly side.
If  should ever meet one I'd run away and hide!
