QLD:Cheers as baby whale swims off to find mum
A baby humpback whale stranded on a Gold Coast has been returned to the ocean.
It's hoped the newborn will now make contact with its mother, who'll guide it out to deep water.
Hundreds of spectators at Surfers Paradise cheered as the calf was towed out by two
jetskis this morning, tired and sore after a tough night stranded on the sand.
Seaworld's director of marine sciences TREVOR LONG says the crisis is not over yet,
and the calf's fate depends on it making contact with its mum.
