Humpback's at Coolangatta
Permalink  

Hi everyone, I had the privilege at sunrise this morning of seeing a large pod of humpback whales along with their calves moving less than 150mts off the beach at Coolangatta..........what a magnificent sight! And what a display they put on, all the usual antic of tail slapping, breaching.....and all free courtesy of nature.

cheers,

ozi2
