Dead humpback whale washes up on beach near Margaret River
Permalink  

People have been urged to stay out of the water at a popular beach in Western Australia's South West after a large whale carcass washed ashore.

A whale carcass washed up on the beach.

The 12-metre humpback whale was found at Honeycombs Beach near Margaret River on Monday, with large shark bites visible on the carcass.

 

Rangers have been patrolling the beach, a well-known surfing spot in the Leeuwin Estate National Park, to warn people away from the area.

Not a nice thing to see on ones holiday,

On a lighter note we saw a humpback only 100-120 metres from shore half way from Augusta to the lighthouse yesterday. A thrill for us.
