A whale that swam 11km upstream in New South Wales' Clarence River has died, prompting Australian authorities to issue a shark warning for the area. Officials are alerting water users because a whale carcass can attract sharks to the river and nearby coastal waters. The incident has drawn attention to why the animal ventured so far inland and how its remains will be managed.
