It is great to ' Be a Tourist in your own Home Town '. That is exactly what is happening for Victorians and any holiday visitors this week. Those that wish to experience some of the incredible wildlife these rich waters of the west coast have to offer, only have to hop on the big, Prince of Whales 'Ocean Magic' vessel. Thursday's trip at 1pm, with Capt Shaun at the wheel, took our many international visitors as well as some locals, out west to enjoy the incredible scenery found in this area. Naturalists on board, Tyler and Scott shared a wealth of information with our guests. Even the weather co-operated. Although 'killer whales' are great to see on any trip, they remained illusive today. We did however see Bald Eagles that are paired up for a new breeding season. They will be on eggs very soon at their specific nests along the waterfront. Harbour seals and a few Steller Sea lions could be seen at the Race Rocks Ecological Reserve, where the Lighthouse this year, celebrates 150 yrs of operation. It has kept marine traffic safe since Boxing Day 1860. It was another great winter, wildlife adventure.
