Whale and Dolphin Rescue

54 whales and five dolphins beached on an island off the coast of Tasmania were saved by over 150 volunteers.

Here's a video:

Some conservationists believe military sonar had something to do with the whale's behavior.

King's Island is off NW Tasmania. You can probably take Regional Express (REX) from Tasmania or mainland Australia to get to King's Island. If you are lucky you get one of their planes with sheepskin covered seats.
