Whale Watching - Georgie Smith

From Afternoons, 1:16 pm on 11 August 2015

Staff at Auckland's Maritime Rescue Centre had a rare treat today when a southern right whale spent part of the morning lolling about in Mechanics Bay. The building houses the Coastguard Operations Centre, Police Maritime Unit and the Harbourmaster's Office. And those on duty had an unimpeded view of the massive mammalian visitor. Coastguard spokesperson Georgie Smith was one of those spectators.
