Venus Bay

The plan was to head to Poochera but when my cousin Anthony wrote out of the blue to see where we were and to say he was at Venus Bay it was perfect timing.

Either way it was gonna be one of our longer stints at just over 5hrs but our arrival at Venus Bay was pushed out by a sizeable stop at Head of the Bight. There we saw, by my count, 7 Southern Right Whales (including mum and calf) and innumerable Humpbacks jumping and breaching off towards the horizon.

We arrived at Venus Bay just in time to catch Anthony at reception as he was heading for a fish at the jetty & then we saw him again later that night for a beer and a chat. It had been so many years since I’d seen Anthony, I was so glad we could catch up on this trip (and we all loved his dog Bruce).Läs mer
