SYDNEY: A "large shark" mauled a surfer to death at a popular Sydney beach on Saturday (Sept 6), Australian police and rescuers said, in a rare fatal attack that led to a string of beach closures.
The 57-year-old local man had gone surfing with five or six friends in the Pacific waters off northern Sydney's adjoining Long Reef and Dee Why beaches, authorities said.
