Phillip Island's Amanda Drennan is set to make local history by circumnavigating Phillip Island, swimming inside a specially constructed shark cage.
This brave young woman won a bronze medal at the Greece Paralympics in 2004 and is embarking on this particular swim to raise money for a 24-hour medical facility on Phillip Island.

A large support team will be on hand, with the most difficult part of the swim being the south coast of the island.
Tides, currents, rocky reefs -- and white pointer sharks -- along the 66 km swim will add challenge. The 4 day swim ends tomorrow at San Remo where Amanda will be greeted by a large and enthusiastic crowd.
