In search of the illusive whale

We left from Redcliffe, the site where Europeans first settled in Queensland though later abandoned. The coastal area had a country feel, but we weren’t there for Redcliffe’s relaxed atmosphere; we were about to search for whales.

South of St Anthony’s lay what looked like a typical coastal fishing village. There was a trail over rocky terrain where a couple gazed at the sea where whales danced.

As mentioned in a previous blog, whale watching was a matter of luck. This trip turned out to be a lucky day. Not only were the whales as curious about us as we were about them, but also playful.
