More whales stranded in Tasmania

Earlier this week about 200 whales beached themselves on the southern end of King Island in Tasmania. The good news is that rescuers have managed to help get 54 pilot whales and 5 dolphins back into deep water, but these were the only survivors.

Tasmania is on the migration path for many whales coming up from their Antarctic feeding grounds, so seems to suffer more than its fair share of strandings.

You can read more from ABC News, and there is more information here.
