Whale dies after beaching on Moreton Island
A YOUNG whale has died after becoming stranded on Moreton Island this morning.
A group of sharks were seen surrounding the whale which washed ashore the eastern side of the Island off Brisbane.
The two-year-old whale is the first to become beached during the annual migration to warmer northern waters.
More than 20,000 whales are expected to pass the Gold Coast this Whale Watching season.
