Whales have again become stranded off the coast of Tasmania in large numbers, with rescuers doing their best to get the animals back into deeper waters.
It is estimated around 230 pilot whales got into trouble in the shallow depths near Macquarie Heads, on the west coast — exactly two years from another stranding in the same location.
Wednesday's event comes just two days after 14 young sperm whales were found dead on the coast of Tasmania's King Island.
