The whales return

Sue and I went on another bike ride on Sunday - just the two of us this time and a shorter ride up to North Head. This included cycling along the seafront track at Manly which was very busy on a sunny morning and with lots of 'nippers' activity going on (young kids clubs where they are trained in sea skills and lifesaving) so there were some areas where bikes and pedestrians merged!

Up on North Head (which has the best view in Sydney*) there was a lady stationed at the far point who was whale watching as part of some research for Macquarie University - she was tracking a 'pod' of 3 whales heading back south after their northerly migration in the winter. We spent some time talking to her and watching the whales through her binoculars which gave a great view. Then it was back into Manly and the long climb back up to Allambie.
