As the boat was zooming across the water we could see the whales breaching on the horizon. We were so excited.
The captain cut the engine hoping this will make them come close to the boat but this didn't work. They restarted the engine hoping the vibrations will make them curious. Suddenly out of no where one appears right next to the boat.
It swam under us, around us and kept showing its face and checking us out.
It would show off its tail and fin regularily. It was an absolutely awesome experience. One that will be hard to top.
On our way back to shore we came across seals basking on some rocks and a pod of whales playing and constantly showing their fins. They appeared to be waving to us. The girls thought this was very cool.
Back to the van for lunch and Waz and I fell asleep basking in the sun. Nothing beats an afternoon cat nap. This life is tough.
We finally found our reserve tank of energy and headed off for a drive around the area. The Margaret River wine region in particular.
We left it quite late in the afternoon and managed to only get as far as the Bootleg Brewery and there we tried their selection of beers. Great little place to spend the afternoon. Relaxing atmosphere and scenic surrounds. Should of come here earlier in the day and spent more time here I say.
Our favourites were the Sou' West Wheat and the Wils Pils. They were both award winning beers. The Raging Bull beer was disgusting. The Brewery is kid friendly and has a playground for them to enjoy. Needless to say it was a great afternoon for the Jelfs family.
We ended the night with a woodfired bbq dinner and an early bedtime for all.
