An 11-year-old boy suffered serious injuries when he was attacked by a shark while snorkelling just metres from the shore in Western Australia.
The youngster was swimming off Kurrajong Campground at Cape Range National Park in the Shire of Exmouth - about 1,300 kilometres north of Perth - at 3pm local time.
Emergency services rushed to the scene and brought the boy back to the shore in a boat, where he was treated before being taken to Exmouth Hospital for treatment.
