Victoria and Tasmania shark attack map: Every significant incident plotted

Fatal attacks are rare but Victoria and Tasmania have both suffered great tragedy and many believe that a shark is what claimed the life of prime minister Harold Holt. Check out where sharks attack in both states.

Fatal shark attacks in Victoria and Tasmania are rare but they do happen, the most recent in Tasmania in 2015.

While through history there have been a number of attacks in Port Philip Bay, it has been decades since a fatality.

Some believe that the state is home to possibly the most famous attack of them all, one that claimed prime minister Harold Holt in 1967, but this has never been confirmed.

The state’s last confirmed fatal was in 1956.
