G'Day, Mate!  I posted a piece about that last week.  It's such a bloody
shame - particularly as the whole area is a marine sanctuary.  And yes,
there will be a piece on it - together with images of the carcasses! :-(

(I've just discovered that 'Copper' sharks is another name for Bronze
Whalers - I think?  Anyway, they're the same ones that Mika saw during his
visit and that have been breeding and feeding in the area for quite some
while.  They're sleek and look like everyone's idea of a shark.)  :-)
