Early newspaper reports in Australia say:

A shark has bitten an 18-year-old man in shallow water on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

Fisheries Minister Tim Mulherin said the man was wading in 30cm of water at Golden Beach at Caloundra on the morning of 13 February when he was bitten.

The wound required 11 stitches, Mulherin said.
