Dolphin playing in Mandurah Estuary

Teenage son home from school and, fingers crossed, I should now be able to post a blog (and include a link) about my beautiful home town of Mandurah.

Mandurah, despite a huge increase in population in recent years, is a beautiful spot just 1 hrs drive south of Perth.  One of the many highlights of the region is the frequent sighting of bottle nosed dolphins in the estuary.  The following link is a great shot of a dolphin frolicking in the water http://www.flickr.com/photos/alinedownunder/3496012470/  Visitors to the Peel Region can take a boat trip around the canal homes and, with luck, be followed by a pod of dolphins.  Strolling along the beautiful foreshore, or having a coffee at one of the cafes, is often a great way of spotting dolphins.  Any visitors I've had from Scotland just love it.  Sunshine, beautiful scenery, wild life - what more could a body ask for? 

Thanks to 'alinedownunder' for the link to flickr.

  1. Just looked at the Flickr link photo - wow they certainly got a good, clear image - those critters can certainly move fast you know. The photographer must have had an EXTREMELY fast shutter speed on their camera that's all I can say!!!
