19 September 2017 - Whale Watching in Hervey Bay
An early start today for a whale watch tour. There were an incredible number of whales in Hervey Bay. While most were resting or feeding calves, we did have the opportunity to see tail flukes and fin slaps. The more white on the under-side of a calf, the younger it is - apparently one calf we saw was less than a week old. Most mother whales feed their calves on their side underwater, however some put their head on the sand and their tail pokes above the surface of the relatively shallow water in the bay. It was a great trip, but I was very tired when we returned.

We had a late lunch and then headed to the Tourist Information Centre. We finished the day with a walk along The Esplanade before treating ourselves to hamburgers and chips for dinner.
