The Whales are moving earlier this year

If you talk to animals they will talk with you and you will know each other.  If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know you will fear.What one fears one destroys.
~Chief Dan George~


This year the whales are swimming up the east coast of Australia, this great south Land much earlier than usual and they are appearing a good 43 days ahead of time. 

Go and stand on a high place and look and yell out hello!

This image also clearly shows the rip as it stretches out like a serpent into the water taking with it all in its path.  Rips are responsible for most drowning deaths on Australia's beaches.  If you get into a rip swim with it until you can swim sideways out of it.  Keep a level head and don't panic if at all possible try to understand it is nature.  She will grip you and let you go if you ask.
