Day 16 - Hervey Bay

What a day! We were up early for breakfast at the Pier Cafe where we had a great view of the Urangan Pier as we devoured our delicious meals. Sooz's Sausages and Eggs were a hit but were not as pretty as the fruit salad, raisin toast and coffee!

 Next up - whale-watching! For me anyway - Sooz was a bit concerned she might get seasick because she does. She needn't have worried because it was only a half-metre swell although the boat did kick around a bit on the half-hour trip out to Platybus Bay on the other side of K'Gari (the island formerly known as Fraser). The whales were there which was good - especially as it is late in the season. There were several pods of mothers and calfs (calves?) and some came quite close to the boat. We were told they don't do that often - and it made for some good photographs.
