A video posted to Facebook by Everything Mandurah shows Monday's rescue operation, which involved lifting the whale in a sling and transporting it to the Dawesville Marina, where the sling was lowered into the water and towed out to sea.
Rescuers said the whale likely beached herself a second time because she was not released far enough from shore.
They said the whale swam away strongly Tuesday and was last seen swimming toward the estuary.
