We drove up to a place called Redcliffe about 1 hour drive from where we live.
The boat what we were on was called a catamaran http://www.brisbanewhalewatching.com.au
Here are some pics of us on the boat.
We sailed out to a place near Morton Bay, there were about 6 Whales around, 2 of them came right up to the boat! It was amazing! you don't realise just how big they actualy are, and it makes you wonder how they can jump out of the water that far!
Si spotted a sea snake too!
It was a great day, its not everyday you get to see a whale! there were some even fighting as it was mating season and they were fighting over a female. We felt quite scared at first as some were as big as the boat and could have sunk us if they wanted! But they don't even touch the boat, they come up for a nosey give a spray of water then swim back down under!
It makes you wonder what else is in the sea, if there are things as big as that in thier then there has got to be something bigger surely! We have so much to learn!
