Whale freed in daring rescue
Sep 28 - A whale which became entangled in shark nets off Australia's Gold Coast has been freed after a daring seven hour rescue operation.
The young adult humpback whale dragged about 200 metres of the netting free from its moorings off Queensland and a search was launched by the state's Department of Primary Industries.
Eventually the whale was spotted and rescuers spent seven hours trying to disentangle the 40 tonne mammal from the netting.
