How you going to get that out of the pool? It is 8 to 10m long. Check the 9th picture for the logistics problem of removal of the deceased humpback.

Dynamite!

Puts meaning to the saying "A whale of a problem"

realistically- they are probably best draining the pool, calling in a pet food mob or a rendering company, and let them cut it up- then take it away and turn it into meat meal, pig food, pet food or fertiliser.

there must be decent access to the pools as they look like they were made out of concrete- so trucks must be able to get there somehow.

Its out of the pool, high tide and big surf got it out overnight but now its having a play on the sand further up the beach. Quite pongy too.

According to NPWS options are hope the tide takes it out to sea where it will sink (after the noahs have had their go) or get in some earth moving equipment and cart it away.

Typical of NSW local councils. Lets hope it drifts down the coast and becomes another shires problem[}:)]

I am pondering the irony of green thumbing this post from one of Clive's computers

Do it

Warning: some people may be upset by these pics.

For others, um... check out the 2nd pic in the SMH. Pic 8 is quite touching under the full moon at dusk last night, though.

Early this morning, [NPWS]... donned protective suits and Kevlar leg armour, smeared Vicks VapoRub under their noses, and began the gruesome task of sawing apart a 11.6-metre dead whale.

They started with knives, slashing through about nine centimetres of blubber around the head and the tail, then deployed the chainsaws. It was physically hard labour, the crews said, with pairs of chainsaw operators alternating regularly.

Bulldozers operated by Pittwater Council staff helped by pulling on one end of the carcass, allowing the cutting crews to step into the breaches. Flesh and sinews regularly clogged the chainsaws' sprockets, and other staff continually cleaned and resharpened the soiled equipment.
