Hello GreenDog,
Certainly believable. Bull
Sharks will travel
well up a fresh water river.

Yep, sure will. Apparently they use the fresh to kill parasites.
Anything that annoys them usually drops dead in fresh water.

Yep thats the truth Geoff, even Humans but we don't have to even annoy them. They are very dangerous when this far up river because the river itself works like a large fish trap, they become lost and hungry. all tidal rivers in the tropics have black tips on average 40 to 50klms from the coast.
