Talking Whales in Perth!

Just had to share this with you.

We went down to see the whales today, just down from Hillary's boat harbour. It was a mum and her calf and they were so close to the shore it was amazing!!

They were in the shallow water so the mum could protect the calf I think, just until it gets big enough to go out into the deeper waters. The wildlife folk say she'll be around for a while to come, so go and check it out if you can.

Totally AWESOME!!!!!!

We were also there today and saw them, they were last seen heading out to sea, after being near the shore for an hour or so. They have also been spotted at Mullaloo beach and Mindarie in the last seven days, so they could turn up anywhere really, just look for the large crowds of people.

If you head north from Cornwall and turn left at Bristol that should do it
