Australian Beaches

In a first sighting so far north, an emperor penguin appeared on a beach in Australia, thousands of kilometres from its Antarctic home. The malnourished penguin, "way bigger than a seabird," was spotted on Friday on Ocean Beach, Australia.

As news of the discovery spread, locals and marine enthusiasts began offering theories about the origin and identity of the mysterious find.

Papua New Guinea's influential petroleum minister has been charged with assault following a "domestic dispute" near Sydney's famed Bondi Beach, Australian police said Sunday.

Marine biologists raced Thursday to save more than 100 pilot whales after a mass stranding on an Australian beach, with officials fearing many will have to be euthanised.

Australian police said Wednesday they were scouring beaches after mysterious packages believed to contain more than 120 kilograms of cocaine washed up over the Christmas period.

The incident occurred at 1770 Beach on December 8, according to the Queensland Ambulance Service.

After the whale became stranded, many people swam close to it, touching it and taking selfies.

Mr. Taylor was airlifted to Princess Alexandra Hospital in critical condition for further treatment.

While the 55-year-old was cruising along the water at Mona Vale beach, a humpback whale leapt out of the water and landed on top of him.

The fish, which was approximately 3m in length, washed up on the shore in Portland, Victoria on October 17 with the middle section of its body completely ripped apart.

A mysterious object that washed up on an Australian beach has been identified as debris from an Indian rocket, officials said Monday.

The enormous sea snake is estimated to be at least 10 years old and weighed between 2-4 kilos and was just over a metre in length.

The canister was discovered near the beach in Green Head in Western Australia (WA) about 250 kilometres north of the city of Perth on Saturday.

The police do not believe that the object originated from a commercial aircraft and urged people to refrain from drawing conclusions.
