(Sydney Morning Herald) The whale seemed to stare straight at him. Fisherman Ivan Iskenderian watched it swim within a metre of his boat in Sydney’s Middle Harbour.
As the whale rose from the water, he saw a plastic bag and some fishing line stuck near its enormous mouth. He reached out his hand and snatched them away.
His friend Michael Riggio snapped a photograph of the close encounter, near Roseville Bridge, calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime” selfie.
