I would highly advise not going DWS as this area attracts (Kanowna particularly) some of the largest Great Whites in the southern Hemisphere!

"White sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) occur in Victorian coastal waters and large animals (3.5–4.5 m) tend to predictably aggregate in particular sites, notably of the breeding sites of the Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus) in Victoria (Lady Julia Percy Island, Seal Rocks, Kanowna Island and The Skerries) (Warneke 1995)."

I also read this somewhere else...(that the largest GWS are found off Kanowna area and the Neptunes)....tho I can't find the document anymore.
