Australian Story A Hand Made Life: Kim McKenzie (1996– ) watch online HD

In her 50 years, Kim has fitted in many lives: professional fisherwoman at 14, big wave surfer in Hawaii and as the famous "Shark Girl" who ran the netting program in Queensland for 18 years. Kim's life has been one of "confronting fear, seeking adrenaline rushes" and taking on the men at their own game. Australian Story finds a semi-recluse who lives in the sand dunes near Noosa and where even today she competes for spanner crabs in a multi-million dollar male dominated industry. Kim reflects that her "hand made life" has seen her working alongside whales, sailing yachts in cyclones and getting rammed by other fishermen in the course of her work. She has rescued dozens of boats in storms and landed some of the biggest great white sharks ever caught. Now Kim says her aim in life is to continue to seek excitement and adventure even as she gets older, "hopefully I'll get to the age of an old lady".
