It's also a hot spot for beachings:

Last update.

Firstly, no earthquakes here. Not even a little rumble.

Wildlife officers have put down three whales that again beached themselves after being herded out to sea yesterday on Western Australia's south coast. Six whales washed up at Ledge Point, east of Augusta this morning. Three of them died and the other three have been put down.

That means 4 out of the 80 survived...very sad.
