That whale
Was just reading a report on it in PerthNOW . Says the carcass is expected to have been washed up on the beach by now.
This part in the report made me chuckle:
ABC radio said tonight that the whale, believed to be up to 15m in length, had moved to Sorrento beach.
Not sure how a carcass moves itself

Sorry mate
I need to be "pun"ished.
On a more serious note, does anyone know what side of the marina the whale is on. If it is on the south side you will battle to keep a bait out. North side you would be in with a chance.
Can you imagine the skippy that whale is going to burley up.

Thinking about it Thommo
Depends on whether my "cheese and kisses" will give me another leave pass after going for a fish last night. I might have to wait until Sunday.

The buggers have taken it away, perthnow site have photos of lifting it out of the water, tried to copy a couple of photos but it wouldn't allow me, would have been interesting watching the stinkie lift onto the truck, wonder where they took it, to the tip? or did anyone ring up the Japs for research?

No, the photos of the crane and taking the carcas away was of another whale in August last year, not this one. If you want to copy any of those photos, just place your cursor over the desired photo, right click and save as.

Beat me to it Colin
Just went down 10 mins ago to pay my respects and its still on the beach putting out the best oil slick.
Looked like nobody is organised to remove it yet. Heres hoping the wind dies down a bit before they get their act together.

Do you reckon they could tow it
about 50 metres out from the Lighhouse on the north wall. I would be there in a flash.

LOL, well looks like there might be some good fishing around hillaries for a little while, though the sooner they get the whale removed the better, might go for a drive later and have a little look at it

A mess
Looks like the sharks have made quite a mess of it, plenty of bite wounds. Thanks for posting the pics Marc.

tell ya one thing
I wouldn't be going swimming at any northern beach for a few months!!
We had one wash up here last year, the amount of 16-18ft tigers on the carcas was ridiculous. The DoF boys got some unreal photo's. I have dived within 15km of that spot since as its just asking for trouble. (mind you, they did bury ours so there was constant seepage for months.

When you go fishing and you catch something, that's good. If you're making love and you catch something, that's bad.

As Adam suggested
I wouldn't be too keen to swim too far out anywhere around there for awhile.

well i may grab the rod and
well i may grab the rod and head there after work today, in the hope of picking up something from the slick.
do you think it will be guarded at night or will we see people going down there to take pieces of whale to make oil? (highly illegal i know, but hey its dead.)

Blowie feast
If they want to dispose of the whale quickly they should tow it inside the marina. The blowies will clean it up in no time.

Anyone know what it died of?
Anyone know what it died of? Looks more like a zombie whale than a dead one, wouldnt go too close.
Looks like a horrible mess, girl in my class cried today when i showed the photos off of here. Still as 7739ian said its better than a harpoon in the lungs.
