I suggest you need to look at the current regulations on approaching any cetation in Aust waters.


Just a thought

A small whale was stuck in the nets and Dale and Casso paddled out to check it out from a distance (the camera angle makes it look closer than it is).

Anyway the Seaworld guys rocked up and started their rescue attempt. While they were trying to cut it loose the adult whales were also trying to free it. There were a few harrowing moments for the rescuers (4-5th time this year on the Goldie!) but they eventually got it free.

We all watched it from the Burleigh headland and it was great to see them finally Free Willie.

If you are up this way check out the TV news as Casso was interviewed. He is a lot uglier in real life. Watch out for any paintshop work in his new magazine!

It's just an optical illusion with a big lens. I really wasn't very close at all.

Just a quick look (from a distance) to see what had happened to the poor little fella. He was caught up too badly for me to do anything though.

Goatman, Jacko, Scotty and I got some awesome waves at The Alley on Monday morning.

I came up alright, even without any Photoshop work (or time to do my hair after getting out of the water). The guy next to me in shot didn't look so good though!

Yep. It's going to all four corners of the globe but it focuses on Aussie people and/or locations.
