The logistics of transporting the Port Beach whale

Naturally, all the armchair experts already knew exactly what would be involved in removing a whale from a sandbar in Rockingham to a site on the mainland.

By all reports the stink smells like something between a Mermaid’s thrush and Boonie’s box after a tour of the sub continents. Either way, John West is certainly throwing this fish back.

It’s quite amazing that the operation to remove two blokes from a roof top almost took as long as the operation to remove this magestic beast.

Getting to be the pilot vehicle for a whale isn’t something everyone gets to tick off their bucket list.

No doubt they’ll have to deal with some lunatic in a Ford Ranger that has no respect for the big feller.

Rest easy big feller. We hardly knew ye.

Documenting the Human Zoo is thirsty work, so if you enjoyed what you read how about buying Belle a beer, ay?
