Aaaaw, I'm so jealous
. Sorry the bub died
. I have seen a mum and baby playing together from the shore in Victoria, it was so hypnotic and lovely (I have photos but the distance makes it hard to guess they are whales).
Tasmania is full of them too (whale AND dolphins). I once saw a small pod (of dolphins) playing right at the docks in Hobart. Amazing. And some of my friends saw the hugest pod ever (I have the photo they took...you can't count the dolphins, there are so many!!!). Can you guess i have a thing for dolphins?
