Whale watching off Cable Beach

Hump backed whales come to the Kimberley coast to calve and is now know to be one of the largest nursery areas in the world.

Boat trips out into the bay go almost daily in the season April to October but peak time is around June to August when adult males are cavorting and females are about to calf.

We didn't really get much play action, no breaching etc but the animals did come quite close at one point. The set of photos below are random from the afternoon out.

An exciting unexpected bonus was up to 6 Wilson's storm petrel close-ish to the boat but going so fast i never had a chance to get photo ;O((

I have thrown the photos of a Blue tongue lizard in at the end just to add to the aminla collection !
