Bruce et al., 2005:

"White sharks tagged in South Australia have been recaptured in  northwest Australia, the head of the Great Australian Bight, and in New Zealand (Bruce et al. in press). Juvenile white sharks tracked in Victoria have been shown to seasonally migrate up the New South Wales coast, and probably into Queensland (Malcolm et al. 2001). Recent satellite tracking results have shown movement of a 3.6 m male from the Neptune Islands to the Rockhampton area in Queensland (23°S) where it remained from June–October, before returning to Bass Strait in November and the Neptune Islands in January (our unpublished data)."
