Les,
The ambulance burnt it's clutch out trying to get back up the hill, that was up middle harbour, I was there that day on a family picnic (very young at the time). The girl that was attacked (Hathaway I think) bled to death, my dad and his mate were involved in trying to get the ambulance back up the hill. We went there in a small boat and and had to wade in the water to go ashore and back to the boat.
We took the girl that was attacked friend home, she wouldn't go in the water so dad and his mate carried her to the boat. Seeing mum and dad this weekend so will ask if he remembers any more.
There are still plenty of them sharks about, my daughter took this pic about 2 years ago near the Iron Cove bridge Rozelle side
