Whales at Hervey Bay






September 7, 2009

We are in Hervey bay and we stayed on the Ocean front hotel/condo called Mantra. Ouch! Sorry that was my wallet. We needed two rooms to house the seven of us but it is worth it. The pier is right outside our window and the buzz of morning activity with boats getting ready to spend the day on the Bay is exciting. We booked our passage on a larger boat to spend the day with the whales. Today, Tracie gets to realize one of her dreams about being on the water with these massive creatures.
Enjoy the photos and video.
We will be traveling along the Bruce highway up to Cairns afterwards which is a piddley 2 lane highway. However it is like there Trans Canada – main highway. Scary. We will get as far as Gladstone tonight and then Townsville tomorrow then we should be in Cairns by the following day by noon. Its not like driving in Canada. Average traveling speed is between 80-100 so it takes quite a bit linger to put some miles in.
