Man dies, another in hospital after a close encounter with a whale off Sydney coast

One man died, and another was hospitalised, in Australia, after a whale hit, and flipped, their 4.8 metre [15.75Ft] boat, during a fishing trip, authorities said.

The two men were thrown from the boat, when it was hit, at about 6am local time, on Saturday (20:00 GMT on Friday), in the waters off La Perouse, about 14km (nine miles) southeast of Sydney.
