In reply to Kathy Marris. Camping over there or Straddie would be great Kathy, we are lucky to have such beautiful and remote feeling places so close to our cities.

Moreton Island is such hidden jewell which is so accessible from Brisbane. I have spent many times camping and holidaying here over the years. Your whale photos are incredible. I would love to visit here again soon.

In reply to Jen Seligmann. We'd definitely try to see them if we were down there at the right time of year, we tend to stay north in winter :) Did you do the helicopter or a boat trip Jen?

Awesome! I'll have to keep whale watching in mind when we make it around there. We recently drove across the Nullarbor and stopped by the Head of Bight where there were nearly 70 Southern Right Whales hanging around there. Including a bunch of calves with their mums. It was a pretty humbling experience and the first time we'd seen whales in person. Thanks for sharing your experience Toni.

Nari's story is incredible! So cool that you got to feed him and see so many dolphins and whales during your trip. I went whale watching in South Africa but we didn't see nearly as many whales. What a great experience!

In reply to John Morris. Yeah Nari is a legend, it was so good to see him well and part of his pod again. Also an example of the excellent work done by Seaworld in animal rescue and recovery they are much more than a theme park.

In reply to Meg Jerrard. I think we are just so used to driving distance now we're living in Queensland, in NZ everything was so close together. We do the road between here and the Gold Coast at least a few times a month and just as often the other direction to the Sunshine Coast.

In reply to Natalie Deduck. We definitely want to hire kayaks next time we go, they're a great way of seeing the sea and bird life and the coastline looks interesting all the way up the island

I've wanted to go whale watching since I was little, but I always hesitate about going cause I'm afraid of the crushing disappointment I'd feel if I had an unsuccessful adventure. I'm glad you got to see them though! And it's nice to hear about a place that actually makes animal welfare a priority. Can never be too careful when it comes to wildlife these days.

This looks like a fantastic experience. I am happy you were able to see such a diverse array of wildlife! It is also nice to hear that Nari is doing well after his release back into the wild.
