Cowan Creek and Broken Bay were well known for the large number of sharks found in the waterways until the 1950s. Gordon Windybank in recalling the 1930s commented: 'At Shark Rock near Jerusalem Bay there were that many damn sharks, there were schools of them. I've seen 12 foot sharks at Cottage Point.'
