Where did I surf today ... ummmmmmmmmmmm .... Whale should I start ... I could start "blubbering" about the north winds, or I could "breach" the point of water safety, or perhaps just drag my "carcass" to the beach .... but no I will not cause some putz, put a stop too surfing here by burying a bloody whale right next door to our main patrolled surf beaches .... So where did I surf today ....... flipping now where ..where will i surf tomorrow ...flippin no where ... and so on and so on and so on. (and repeat for months to come .....)
They're really not thinking this problem through

what they need to do is keep a crew on Japanese chefs and backyard BBQers on standby for these sorts of emergencies
problem will be fixed in a few days

Gold OB .... but you are right .. council did not think it through
Some reason has come to roost in the council though... or at least the State / National govt ... 50K has been given to the council to now dig it up.
So won't be surfing here much in coming weeks or months as I think we can all imagine the umm err "left overs" when they start exhuming the carcass, but at least we won't have bully trail for years to come
I feel road trip weekends are upon us
And yes ..the exploding whale Funny as F..... now that is really not thinking it though :)
