Balnarring

Nick and I spent a day at a friend's beach house in Balnarring. It was fun. While the boys played beach cricket I went for a stroll along the waterfront. And then, I saw trhee dolphins swimming close to shore. A small group of people gathered to get a closer look and we all waded our way into the cold(!) water. The dolphins appeared just as curious and swam in concentric circles, getting closer and closer. Finally they were just at arm's length! In all these years in Australia, and all the wild, isolated places I've travelled to, I never thought I'd end up witnessing a close encounter with dolphins right here, on the Mornington Peninsula!
