Whale of a time

Dave had an interesting birthday weekend this year. A three day circuit hike around Freycinet Peninsular, one of the prettiest parts of Tasmania, including a night camped at winglass bay watching the dolphins frollic in the moonlight. Being lulled to sleep by the waves gently breaking on the shore was a far cry from the traffic and sirens heard in city life. On the last day a kayak trip around the bay was intended to produce a feed of fish for tea, but far too distracted by the playful pods of dolphins and then the awesome presence of two humpback whales just metres away. Very inspiring as they dived directly below me causing the ocean surface to burble with the activity. Altogether a special and memerable day :-)
