“Off the west coast of Tasmania, Ernie Parker, a fisherman from Triabunna, caught the biggest shark of the White Death variety ever landed in that region. It was twelve feet ten inches long and weighed half a ton. And at Rosewood, Baghdad, Tasmania, Pat Swan shot a wedge-tailed eagle with a span of seven feet five inches across the wings. Local farmers blamed this bird for a very heavy toll of their lambs.” —Colin Wills, in his 8.8. C. Australian Newsletter.
