Our 1st stop upon arriving in Brisbane was to head to Tangalooma. We had touched down at about 7am and hung around the airport till our transport came at 9am to send us to Holt Wharf to catch the launch to Moreton Island. On hindsight, I ought to have planned this stop at the end of our Brisbane holiday. A non stop 8 hour flight & another 3 hours till our launch departed at 10am proved too overwhelming for my little boy. He threw up all over me as our launch maneuvered along the choppy waters of Moreton Bay. Apparently another little kid 2 rows in front threw up as well. She was coincidentally on the same flight as us.
Just a night at Tangalooma set us back by almost $1K (2 bedroom apartment & launch transfers) but it was all worth it given that we all had our 1st ever chance to hand feed wild dolphins. Jill was by far the most excited as she loves dolphins very much. Spotting them swimming to shore was an unforgettable experience. 1st came one, followed by another and soon after, there were 7 of them swimming round & round in the shallow shore waters. It was dark, rainy & the water was cold but being right there in the thick of action made up for it all!
This is us, feeding Silhouette
