australian sealions

We both took lots of photos, but my favourites have to be of the Australian sealions, the photo above being one of them, I suppose because I just feel so privileged to have been up so close with these lovely animals. Our guide took us to view within a safe distance, as don't forget they may look docile enough, but in fact a sealion can be quite dangerous and could easily turn on you if you invade their territory and they can weigh a ton, particularly the males.

Little pups were frolicking in and out the water, whilst the mums were having a snooze, washed up on the beach, and there were a few rather large males keeping an eye on the proceedings too.

An unforgettable experience.
