North Solitary Island, about 50 km NE of Coffs Harbour. It was a couple of years ago now. I doubt she's still there They're amazing wanderers. They travel thousands of kilometres

Its a bloody beautiful spot. Every time I dive at that site I seem to see something bloody huge.

Coffs is very pretty.

She was probably just sniffing around playing chicken with ya! ha! :eek:

But yeah, they are amazing creatures, I was just amazed that you brought it up because I was just on NYPJ1's thread about organizing to go diving with them.

I mean I love them and all but I'm not big on being underwater personally. I love to see it, but from the safety of my armchair when we're talking that deep.

nah... Xmas shouldnt be like that.. not for me anyway

seriously though... Norway's health care and education systems are immense... they have a great welfare system as well.. and Norway is fucking loaded with oil revenues.. Iceland's looks beautiful in pics/movies, but then so does Oz and NZ.. so dunno about Iceland?!

If Scotland lost the country below us then we'd do ok... we'd be 4th richest country in world with our oil revenues.. and our health care system is awesome just now as it is... could be even better though

Hmm. That sounds dreadfully boring. There's nothing like 40 C by nine in the morning on a summer day to make you appreciate what it felt like to be freezing your nuts off six months ago when it was -10 and you're in the bottom of a gorge somewhere miles from home.

I love it

eww... no... not for me at all! I can't do the sun and I can't do extreme cold either. Where's the fun in either being too hot or too cold to do anything?

I shit you not. And no that's not my photo. The only proof I have is the testimony of the other two guys I was diving with, but its certainly an experience that will stay with me forever.

:eek: that's a BEAUTIFUL picture

LMAO... I haven't even seen the trailer. I finally got the immagine dvd also but haven't had a chance to watch that either. There's usually at least ONE housemate watching something and I can't say 'sorry I'm just putting on this PJ dvd' although maybe I should and I've been away every weekend for I dunno how long

sigur ros and lovely images of iceland sounds like a match made in heaven cos that's the kinda images their music brings to mind anyway... I always picture I'm lying on a glacier (but lovely and warm somehow) and it's dark and the northern lights are flying aruond above me.

Bears are dumb though man. Black Bears don't care about people unless you scare them. Grizzly bears I never ran into camping in BC.

BC eh? Have you been to Squamish? That place looks fantastic. All that beautiful granite. Gotta love the friction on granite. . .


Seriously our wildlife is nothing to be afraid of either. Unless you go in the water. . .

The name rings a bell, I grew up in B.C. so I have probably been there and just don't remember. The family used to go on trips to various places like Hope, White Rock, Nanaimo, Sechelt, etc..

It is beautiful isn't it? I think that one was taken at the Guadalope islands in Mexico. Its famous as being one of the best places in the world to photograph whites, because of the amazingly clear water. Usually they hang out in cool water that tends to be on the murky side.

One of the other places that is famous for reliable sightings is Port Lincoln, South Australia.

They are amazing critters. Absolutely awe inspiring. I just hope that in 20 years time I won't be telling my kids that I saw one before they became extinct :(
