Way to wreck my holiday. Where are the Japanese when you need them. 
Thats a bit of a worry 
Cant they haul it out or bury it or do something with it?
Would it affect tombies?
LAst time I saw a whale carcass in the exmouth gulf a few years ago the slick from the oil went a long, long way. It was a calm afternoon and you could see the slick going out towards the murion islands.
If with the prevailing southerlies that slick will more than likely head north and it will pull in the nasties from a long way away.
There is some footage of a white pointer having a go at a carcass (and the zodiac filming it) from about 2002 /3 . This was in Exmouth . So its a fair chance that you might get a pointer or two hanging around the burley slick.
YOu might have to cancel gnaraloo and head further north. Go exploring plenty more reef all the way to Exmouth......
So with a howling southerly the slick will go straight past tombies
No tacks too far out
That just wrecked my day 
Thanks for the heads up anyway...
Hope its not one of those first of April posts!
Damn whales.....you do so much to try to save them and clearly some of them just can't be bothered
theres one in the dunes 100m north of Pinnaroo point, was dug in some 15 years ago though
