Whale report was an hour late getting to me and they have moved on, too far away to get any pix.

Tried to get onto Lee Breakwater, but gates are locked because a ship docked there is under fumigation at present.

Dear Kev Murphy,
Apart from the whales do you ever get any warnings about white pointers or bronze whalers on the beach.  :spank

Earlier this year, there were a couple of beached whales here.

Greenpeace wasted half a day trying to force them into deeper water, but their husbands called the cops!  :grin
