The weather the last couple of days has been so beautiful that we decided to travel a little further down the coast to enjoy the lovely days.
From the lookout over Nelson Bay you get to appreciate just how much water there is in the bay.
We decided to do a whale watching tour and fortunately for us we saw three pods of whales which was very exciting.
On a nearly island a colony of seals relax on the rocks and in the water on this warm sunny day.
Back on land koalas also sun themselves in the national park.
As do the parrots.
The amazingly tall Gymea Lilies flowering is triggered by fire. The stem is approx. 2 metres high and the large flower looks like a bunch of red lilies.
Glad we decided to stay on the coast for an extra couple of days.

Great photos Jim and Kerry. Thanks for sharing your trip with us……we look forward to more as you make your way back home. Safe travels.
Looking forward to the trip home as well. So much more to see.
Wow! Love those whale pics. Looks like they were playing it up for the camera. Lucky you. I’ve not seen them up close…yet! Enjoy the travels home.
It was wonderful Jenny. The whales came as close as 50 metres and they were in a very playful mood.
Wow! Certainly a great day! How lucky were you to see those whales!
