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.

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.
