Heartbroken rescuers have just found a pod of whales have beached again at Farewell Spit.
After a mass stranding on Monday, the long-finned pilot whales were walked out at high tide that night.
But 28 have returned again at the remote beach, with another 10 dying to bring the death toll to a total of 19.
Project Jonah manager Daren Grover said the whales were found on the beach again at first light and there's a short window to get them out again at full tide.
