Humpback Whale Caught in Fishing Tackle Travels from Victoria to Queensland
A Sea World rescue team has saved a humpback whale off the coast of North Stradbroke Island, after being alerted to a large adult whale which was wrapped in rope and buoys.
The whale, which was partially untangled on Tuesday, had been dragging commercial fishing tackle all the way from northern Victoria.
Marine scientist Trevor Long said the rescue team had been unable to remove some of the tackle and rope, which was caught behind the whales pectoral fin.

David Hird was tired of all the responsibility being put onto women to take action against rape culture and domestic violence. So he decided to do something about it. And organised a rally to allow men to be part of the conversation.
“I would definitely say it’s a man’s issue but I guess one thing I definitely don’t want to happen in this situation is the contributions women have been making fighting this violence, that shouldn’t be overshadowed by men," David says, "Women have been fighting a lot longer.”
MEZKO: Syzygy
- Two piece Sydney outfit MEZKO have returned with their second EP Syzygy. It's a short and sweet three tracker that's buzzing with multidimensional tracks and expert production and arrangement.
You In Me opens the EP up with a grinding bass riff that takes you to the dance floors of Berlin, before delving into grimy analogue riffs and a pseudo spoken vocal. The longest track on the record, it cycles through different sections, which sees the use of dynamic and melodic variation, something which can -sometimes- be missing from music in the genre.
