Tragedy as whales die: More Tassie strandings
By LINDA SMITH
December 28, 2004

TWENTY sperm whales are dead after a stranding at Trial Harbour, near Strahan, yesterday.

The Parks and Wildlife Service was notified by a caller at 9.30am of 20 whales stranded at Little Henty River.

At least one was believed to be alive.

However, when senior ranger Chris Arthur arrived, he found only four female whales on the beach and all were dead.

He said it was highly likely that rough weather and gusting winds of up to 57km/h would have taken the other 16 whales back out to sea.
