Hello,
Last week we spent another week at the Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort on Moreton Island, our 2nd week there in a 4 week period, care of a special 30th anniversary holiday offer operating during the month of July & August.
We managed to get out and do a spot of whale watching in the waters around the northernmost point, Cape Morton. Unobstructed viewing positions were limited to the port, starboard and rear decks only, which were rather crowded, making photo opportunities quite difficult.
Despite the rolling boat, heaving swell and crushing crowds, I managed to squeeze of a few shots which captured some of the majesty of these amazing creatures. By far my best experience was simply watching a pair of whales glide right under the stern of our boat; their close presence, intelligence and “whaleness” provided for an extraordinary close encounter which the photos just cannot express.
The dolphin photos were taken from the jetty where a pod of wild dolphins visits the resort every evening, at dusk, to be hand fed by resort guests under the close supervision of resort staff.
Thanks for looking!
Dennis
