| Early morning on Hervey Bay |
The last couple of days has been spent at Hervey Bay. Yesterday (Wednesday 1 September) we spent half the day whale watching on the good ship, Quick Cat II . . . and we weren't disappointed.

| "Tharrr she blows!" |
It was an early start from the Hervey Bay marina as we headed off at 7 am. First stop was Kingfisher Resort on Fraser Island to pick up more passengers then it was out into the Bay.

| Whale swimming under our boat |
We saw many whales with calves and at one stage a large whale swam right under our boat. We witnessed a whole range of whale antics: fin slapping, breaching and expelling air through their blowhole. Joyce and Carol, between them, took hundreds of photos with their fancy digital SLRs. They are truly a marvellous animal to behold (the whales, that is, not Joyce and Carol although they are marvellous in their own way!).

Five bucks if you're game enough to put a caption to Joyce's expression in that photo!
ReplyDeleteThe whales would have been great. Looks like you are having a lot of fun.
