Default Humpbacks in Sydney Harbour

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/...917315926.html

For the first time Humpbacks have been spotted in Sydney Harbour. Last year a few popped in the harbour for nookie and left.

Me and Zoe saw some whales in Noosa the other day. They were playing about 1/4 Km out at sea - really nice sight.

Also seen some Dolphins at the beach - they were only about 25 metres out.

better than Whitley Bay lighthouse in North East England ey?

I saw some Dolphins near the Noosa river mouth surfing there last year. It is an incredible area.
