Whales.

Postby drowningbitbybit » Sat Aug 16, 2008 4:45 am

I'm ever so excited.

I just popped to the shops, walked via the beach, and saw my first ever wild whales! :D

A pair of them were relaxing in Coogee bay. I dont know what kind they were other than "fecking huge" :shock:
Ive been dying to see some proper big sea life ever since I got to Oz and now I have :D

And to think, less than a year ago, the most exciting thing I got to see was a west london urban fox :lol:

If I saw a whale in the middle of the water I would literally xxxxx my pants so fast that I would probably have so much propulsion that I'd be on the beach in a matter of seconds.
