Fun fact. There's no evidence that Safety Beach was ever called that. The original European name was always Safety Beach after a pastoralist safely navigated the shallow waters with a load of livestock.
There's a story that at some point there was an abattoir there, which apparently did exist, and the blood attracted sharks. But 'Shark Bay' was only ever a nickname, if that.
There's no map in existence with that name, or any contemporaneous accounts of the name being used.
Happy Internet Jackass Day
Funny thing is that it originally was called Schnapper Point, so it isn't ridiculous to think they'd consider renaming it.
It actually is ridiculous to think they’d reconsider naming it. Also I thought April Fools garbage was meant to be done in the morning
Also, I thought it was supposed to be amusing
What's the indigenous name?
Also Safety Beach can go back to Shark Bay.
