I caught a bus out to The Gap at Watsons Bay for some whale watching. I walked out to the lookout at the south end of South Head near the naval base. I spent a while looking with binoculars without seeing any whales, so moved back to The Gap Lookout. Here I struck more success. One whale was breaching – a fair way out in the sea.
I took a few photos, but soon a whale watching boat approached the whale and blocked my view. Then the whale went quiet. No more breaching.
That was the best whale of about 4 I saw that day.
In the afternoon, I walked south along the Coastal Track, to Diamond Bay and walk to nearby Dudley Page Reserve for some sunset photos. And then back on the bus back to the city.
