Music of Aussie rockers AC/DC proves irresistable to sharks
(Headline: Irresistible spelled wrong)THEY'VE sold 200 million albums worldwide but AC/DC has an unexpected new fan - the majestic great white shark.
Eyre Peninsula tourism operator Matt Waller has discovered that great whites are attracted to the Australian hard rock band more than any other - even more than berley.
Several times a week his Adventure Bay Charter company cruises down to Shark Bay at the Neptune Islands, south of Port Lincoln, to view the world's largest predatory fish.
The sharks are particularly attracted to top-selling songs If You Want Blood and Shook Me All Night Long with their low frequencies.
Mr Waller discovered the unusual attraction for sharks when taking tourists out on his swim with great white sharks trips.
"We know the AC/DC music works best by trial and error, and we are doing more research to see what works best with different species of shark," he says.
