On Saturday we got up early and phoned the people at the whale watch in Hervey Bay, having previously set it up with them that we could call to see what, if anything was in the bay. We hadn't told the girls in case there were none. This is the very end of the season, but we've been wanting to take them for ages. Platypus bay (in Hervey Bay) is where all the whales that are hip and trendy go to hang out on their way to the sarf, but its a 5 hour drive to Hervey Bay, (the town) from which the boats leave.
They had sighted 6 pods, so off we went. The girls were well up for it.... especially Matilda!
It was a fantastic day weather wise, and the wind on the boat was warm and refreshing.
Feeb was (as usual) in a content and happy space of her own... she's so senual. Everything is about touch.
For Daile, everything is about sun cream...
... and despite the heat, no one was burned.
We saw a lot of the babies doing this...
...and the boat had a hydrophone so we were able to listen to them too. Fascinating stuff. We all had a fabulous day... and Daile's new car was really good too on its first long distance tramp. It's funny, you'd never think of doing a 5 hour day trip in the UK.
And here's a pic of the girls playing on the quay when we got back, whilst we were waiting for our chips.
In 2 and a half hours, I leave for the UK. Better go and pack!
