Age Rocking his Scars

Its so great to see Age gradually regain his speech and movement. When Lilly saw him this morning she announced he looked like Frankenstiens monster.... Possibly a good description given the amount of metal stitches he is sporting!

He has really enjoyed peoples visits... And gifts of chocolate is always welcome!

There is no talk of discharge in the near future as he has alot of rehab and speech therapy to undertake. If you do visit or call during the day, its likely he wont be there as he is on an extensive recovery program. I am very proud of his continued commitment to positive healing.

Dolphin Feeding at Tin Can Bay

A very rare breed of dolphin is found here in Tin Can Bay. The Indo Pacific humpback sousachinesis are rare but not (yet) endangered. They are shallow water estuarine living and don''t go into the ocean. They baisically  live at the mouth of the river. There is a pod of nine, one of them is 35 years old.

Its only been recently that the cafe which fronts the tiny beach where the dolphins frequent has started to charge people to come and look. Even on the miserable, cold, wet morning we came, there was a huge crowd, all willing to part with $10 a head and more if you want to get in the water or feed them... sheesh.. But basically,,,, how can you not after making the trek out here?
