Sharks circle whale carcass as officials scramble next move (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A washed-up whale carcass lured sharks and hundreds of fascinated onlookers to City Beach on Monday and is now proving a giant headache for authorities working out how to remove its remains.

Read excerpt
WA’s top cop says all West Australians should be barracking for Fremantle and certainly not acting irresponsibly behind the wheel this long weekend.
