The report also described a separate encounter: a diver at Geordie Bay on Rottnest Island was approached by a great white estimated at 4.5 metres. The incidents happened at different locations, and the 2015 article does not establish current shark activity or beach conditions.

Does the 2015 warning describe conditions today?
No. The PerthNow article was published on 28 December 2015 and offers no evidence about present-day shark activity, warnings or beach access in Albany or on Rottnest Island. Anyone planning to swim or dive should check current official local alerts and follow any signs or directions at the site rather than relying on this historical report.
