Humpback whale brings ferries to a halt in Sydney Harbour
Ferry services were suspended after a humpback whale was spotted by commuters on a Sydney Harbour near Fort Denison about 8am on Wednesday. It swam to Circular Quay – the city's central ferry terminal – before moving east towards the defence base of Garden Island then to Watsons Bay and north to Balmoral Bay. Maritime authorities were called on to escort the whale out to sea and safety
