23.01.2022 A shark ADVICE has been issued due to a whale carcass that has come aground on an offshore reef near Separation Point. The whale carcass is stuck on a shall...ow reef platform approximately four to five hundred metres offshore, west of the Separation Point lookout. Fisheries Officers have attended and observed that it is stuck inside the shallow reef platform and with very low swell conditions is likely to remain until sea conditions change. Please take additional caution in the Separation Point area. Fisheries officers, along with staff from other agencies are monitoring the situation and will provide updates.

05.01.2022 WOODSIDE NIPPERS Sorry for the late posting.. We have been monitoring the situation carefully and were hopeful that we could continue Nippers. However being mindful of pressures placed on our volunteers, compliance with regulations for workers in essential industries, recent heightened public gathering restrictions and inability to guarantee effective control over social distancing in a public arena - we will have to declare Champion Bay Nippers done for the season. Thanks to our families for the vibrancy on the beach on Sunday mornings - It's been great. Stay safe and we'll be in touch as things develop.
