A mother in Sydney recounts an incident in which she is attacked by a great white shark at a popular beach. She describes striking the shark in the face during the attack as she tries to defend herself.

One outlet frames the account around her direct action, quoting her descriptions of the “monster” shark and her thoughts while she was being attacked. The other emphasizes how she wants to be remembered, focusing on her decision to punch the animal rather than be injured or killed. Both reports present the account as a personal recollection from the same incident and highlight the size of the shark mentioned as being around four metres, along with her refusal to comply with the attack.
