Harrowing': Cyclone Narelle leaves graveyard of turtles, dolphins and seabirds in Western Australia

"The sheer amount of animals was just disturbing. I'm a pretty positive person, but it was so bad. I just rescued whatever I could."

"It was pretty devastating. Harrowing. My theory is that everything that needs to come to the surface to breathe would have faced pretty intense and exhausting conditions."

"Davies, who makes a living as a free diver, occasional stunt double, tour guide and photographer, is the founder of the Balu Blue Foundation conservation charity that cares for injured wildlife."

After Tropical Cyclone Narelle, Graveyards beach in Exmouth was littered with thousands of dead baby turtles, turtle eggs, fish, sea snakes, dolphins, and seabirds. Brinkley Davies rescued as many animals as possible, while photographer Brooke Pyke expressed her emotional struggle witnessing the devastation. The state government reported similar scenes along hundreds of kilometers of coastline. Davies, founder of the Balu Blue Foundation, took in over 70 injured seabirds and other animals into her home after the cyclone, highlighting the impact on local wildlife.
