Event 1:
"Freak wave" kills 5 people in Stingray Bay, Warrnambool. Far out. Been swimming there so many times between the shore and Penguin Island. Went walking along the beach that day and the swell was moderately rough. A lot of the tourists go to that beach because they don't like the swell of Lady Bay and aren't competent swimmers, I guess when they were swept off their feet and washed out to sea they panicked. A rescue helicopter has been buzzing over the ocean for 3 days looking for a missing boy who was washed out to sea during the accident but he hasn't been found and the news has been (understandably) overshadowed by the tsunami disaster.

A couple of years ago one of our friends found a dead scuba-diver on the beach of Penguin Island who had been missing for weeks. It's really scary, it makes me want to avoid the ocean completely because it's so unpredictable and I really don't want to be the one who innocently stumbles across the body. I never thought anything so serious would happen here, it shows that no one's invincible!
