Race to save whales after Australia's biggest ever beaching

Available for over a year

A further two hundred whales have become stranded off Tasmania in what's become the biggest beaching in Australia's recent history - a total now of nearly five hundred whales. Sadly, hundreds have now died and rescuers are racing to free those still alive.
