Have a Happy Bench Monday. Let the week bring you joy and pleasure. Don't stress about Christmas presents or cooking for a cast of thousands. Just tell yourself that (as we say in these Antipodean parts) "She'll be right mate." Chill, baby, chill.

"My, she was yar."

A humpback calf enjoying life on its way back down south with its mum. The southern migration from the northern waters to the Southern Ocean has begun. This calf was born in the warmth of the Exmouth Gulf and Ningaloo in northern WA but will live in the cold waters of the south. It is probably less than four months old. This was taken in Geographe Bay, off the south west coast of WA, which is a natural break point and resting area on the journey, being generally calm and sheltered. We saw plenty of whales this year, which is a very pleasing development. I agree with the whale: life is grand, innit.

A Happy Bench Monday to everyone. I hope your week starts out well and steadily gets even better as next weekend approaches. This bench overlooks part of Geographe Bay in Western Australia.

May I wish a Happy Fence Friday to all and add my further wishes for a fine and delightful weekend for everyone. This rickety-looking fence borders a path to the beach at Silver Sands/Watersun in Mandurah. The view is across Comet Bay to Halls Head on the right and to Seashells/Mandurah on the left. The dunes here offer protection from the sea and are themselves protected from predatory developers and real estate agents by legislation: a win-win.
