Semester two kicked off on Monday so last weekend I studiously ignored my pending project management assignment and headed south to celebrate the end of the mid-semester break.
What better way to prepare for the coming semester than spend some time marvelling at the amazing biodiversity at our back door. In this part of the world, it is whale watching season from May to September and we were not disappointed, sighting a very happy whale frollicking off the coast at Victor Harbour. For those with a keen interest in whale watching, I would recommend checking out the South Australian Whale Centre website which includes a log of recent sightings. We think the whale recorded as ID#1154 on the 23 July was the same one we saw about that time (but didn't log with the centre).
However it wasn't just about whales. My delighted Englishman had a close and harmless encounter with a lone echidna which was dawdling along the cliff top path and sighted both a dolphin in the bay as well as a seal playing off the rocks.
With the batteries recharged and the warm glow of biodiversity in my veins, I am ready to take on second semester.
