Race to save #whales in #Tasmania mass #stranding.

Tasmanian Govt said 157 #falsekillerwhales had beached near #ArthurRiver, in the state’s north west.

Conservation experts & vets at the site estimate about 90 of the animals - which witnesses say include juveniles - are still alive. They are planning an operation to return them to sea. #auspol
