I have been around the harbour all my life. We see dolphins occasionally inside the heads but we never see them interacting like this! 
Fabulous video!
We had a solo dolphin behaving like this in St Georges Basin much of last summer. I have three friends with video very similar to yours AA and they all say that they anchored their boat to fish or swim or whatever and the dolphin just came up to them and just hung around playing and nudging the swimmers.
The NPWS decided it was inappropriate to have such close interaction so they relocated it out to sea with a pod. It was only a few weeks before it was back inside the basin again.
NPWS relocated it again, but this time much further away................... I wonder if this is the same one?
Yeah it is an amazing video from a friend of mine. Very unusual behaviour. Interesting story Mel, sounds like it could be the same guy doing a tour of the East coast!
Classic story if it is!
Great vid AA. Someone should show this to the Japanese next month as they begin the annual dolphin slaughter in Tajji. Beautiful creatures .
Unreal

Don't worry Johnny, with all the toxic crap leaking into the sea in Japan at the moment, the dolphins up there will either leave by themselves or drop dead before the locals put a hand on them. :-(
This vid is so cool, we have some very similar dolphins near my home!

Agree
Scary thing is that it happens every year.....few Japanese are aware of it....seems to be perpetuated by quite "red neck" gangster type people......but in The Cove it turns out that the people following the activists are the polce
Never watched the Cove dont think i could , that little snippet mad be soooo angry. Its been shown time and time again that these creatures are so intellegent , hopefully one day in the far distant future they will evolve into land animals , learn to make guns and bombs and blow the **** out of the human raceReminds of that great song cows with guns
Great vid - thanks for sharing AA! That wouldn't make my day, that would put a smile 
on my face for a month! The young kids in the vid have a great memory for a lifetime.
I had my own experience in the surf today with Dolphins. At the time i was so amazed and felt privileged that they wanted to stop and surf with me. But i was soon reminded that yes the Dolphin slaughter is once again just around the corner.
We all can chose to do nothing, or we can make a small difference

AA's vid shows just how easily it is to co exist with the dolpins. I'm lucky enough to paddle each month with dolphins in Forster. They enjoy playing around my board but certainly not as close as AA's vid. As a result of surfing and paddling with dolphins for years they're something I'm a little passionate about so do yourself a favour and watch The Cove and Blackfish. Then watch AA's vid again!!
See The Cove and Blackfish! For many cetacean advocates, The Cove was the impetus which compelled them to action. In this 2009 Academy Award-winning documentary, starring Ric O'Barry, ex-trainer turned world-renowned dolphin activist, a team of investigators go undercover in Japan to document the Taiji dolphin massacres -- and expose the inextricable link with the captive dolphin industry. Blackfish is a new documentary film which chronicles the tragic story of Tilikum, SeaWorld's largest captive breeding bull orca, who is responsible for the death of three people -- including senior trainer, Dawn Brancheau. The movie also exposes the abuse, suffering, wrongness and devastating consequences of keeping orcas imprisoned in captivity. Several people who witnessed the attacks come forward to share their stories, and former SeaWorld trainers also speak out.
