Why the visit. To see mum & my bro Robert; but also to see the 3 dolphins that decided to visit. They have been there now for about 1 week. Apparently the pup is injured, (not enough to beach itself though); the other 2 maybe mum & dad. Then on Sunday morning another 2 appeared. According to the local fishermen, (my bro included) there is a lot of Mackarel out at the reef, meaning a lot of Tiger Sharks.
On either Wednesday or Thursday night; Seaworld/Parks and Wildlife etc, did try and move them out, but the clever dolphins found a clearing and swam back.
So to heal the family have decided to rest in Cudgera Creek.
Here are the photos; the yellow buoys are the exclusion zone. The creek is no more than 50 metres in width. The depth of the water on high tide approx 8 ft; low tide 4ft. The bridge where they are resting is about 2kms from the creek inlet.
There also is a small photo of the bream in the creek; so food is not a problem.

How exciting! We saw dolphins in Port Hacking when we stayed at Bundeena last year. The owner of our accommodation said we were lucky - they only see them once a year!
That is exciting!!! I have never seen dolphins in the wild before only ever at seaworld it's not quite the same. Great photos.
Very cool pictures, I have never seen dolphins in the wild even when I lived in california: sharks, 4 types of whales, porposes, seals, sea lions and more but never dolphins so I am very much in envy! Now I know when to visit, middle of Jan.
