NSW:Beached whale dies despite rescue attempt
A beached whale found on Boxing Day on the NSW south coast has died.
Whale rescue organisation ORRCA says the 12-metre Bryde's whale weakened overnight
.. despite hopes a high tide could help it reach the ocean early this morning .. and it
died around 5am (AEDT).
Members of the public discovered the whale on Seven Mile Beach near Shoalhaven Heads
village just before midday on Sunday.
ORRCA volunteer SHONA LORIGAN says National Parks are now in control of disposing of
the whale's carcass .. but it's in an awkward position.
