Dolphin in the Brisbane River

This afternoon (Sat 06/09/2008) I was lucky enough to see a lone Dolphin in the Brisbane River.

We’d gone for a walk along the river at Orleigh Park Westend when we saw it breaking the surface.

We watched it for about 15 minutes as it swam up down the river occasionally spouting water through its blow hole and diving back under the water.

This is the first time I’d seen a Dolphin this far up the river, I have seen them previously in Moreton Bay and at the Sunshine Coast.

Here are a few pictures I managed to take:

I was surprised to see this sign the other day while on a bike ride near Byron Bay. Thinking about it, this is Australia and there are a lot of snakes, i guess because you don’t see them very often its easy to forget they’re there. Brown Snake

If I had come across one, this is what they look like:
