Lucas told the paper she concentrated on getting the injured Cull and herself the 80 meters back to the sand before the shark, believed to be a four-meter white pointer, returned.
Good for her, but it's unlikely the shark would have been returning.
That is just the Aussie way. I suspect she has been swimming since she was 3 and is probably a very strong swimmer. Most Aussies are use to the water and have spent a lot of time in it growing up. That she jump in there and pulled the guy out is not so unusual down=under

Good job! Nice to read stories like this when there's so much negative out there.
