Back in Sydney




Flew back Quantas which was slightly delayed but arrived in only 50 minutes.
then train back to Kings Cross which cost $14:60.
We went whale watching finally and saw 4 humpback whales and a dolphins wonderful 3 metre swell.
Mriga found the motion a little unsettling but for me no problem.
The harbour is much wider and bigger than i had imagined and going out to the sea showed what a Sunday is
like in Sydney, sailing on a wonderful sunny afternoon as Clive James has written.
The whales were generally balck in colour but would surface every 3-6 minutes and you could see the dorsal fin as they
drived down again, one whale had a yellowly white underbelly, we only saw a tail fin once as one of the second group of
whales drived down to eat krill.
the second pod also mugged us by going under our boat.

Watson Bay and the Gap park, we travelled to the end off the line on the 324 bus, the Gap is the the sea facing side of Sydney
Harbour, with huge river deposited sandstone cliff and huges crashing waves, we think we saw a fairy penguin in the surf.
We has fish and chips once again, but were not attacked by the nasty sea gulls who will try and steal the chips from your mouth.
