While it is floating in the water. Taking thier todlers. Having
thier photo taken, standing on the carcess while it floats in the
water. As sharks eat the body. I'm so revolted. Maybe I don't belong 
here.

As an Australian myself, let me just say: YUCK! As much as I love the 
beach, I think I'd stay well away from a whale's carcass - wouldn't 
it smell really, really awful?

Not *all* of Australia... I think you've come across the Bogans, who 
*would* do a thing like stand on a carcass and look proud. Bogans are 
the Aussie yobbos all of us other Australians are ashamed about. 
Bogans are the ones who speak in the really broad, stereotypical 
accents, wear thongs all year round, and have long, flowing mullets. 
Kinda like the Australian version of a redneck.
