A "Rotten" Start to the week.....

Straight from work we joined what the radio station called a "massive crowd" at Mereweather Beach. We knew not to be too worried about overcrowding though as a "massive tailback on the road" usually involves a two minute wait at the traffic lights. So by reading the blog title and looking at the photo carefully you can maybe tell what was pulling the crowds in.










Can you tell what it is yet?



How about a closer look? Lovely eh? Yes everyone was piling in for a good stare at a 2m rotting sperm whale carcass. Sliced up by a propeller and nibbled at by Sharks. We certainly know how to have a good time. Macabre fascination satisfied we went home for sausage casserole, content that we have finally seen our first whale.



The blog title had endless possibilities but based on the fact that people seemed to be most interested when things go wrong (speeding tickets, car repairs, bad days at work etc.) we thought this would capture people's imagination.
