Whales play off Bunbury beach

People out for a stroll along Bunbury’s Clifton Beach just before noon today just enjoyed the rare sight of two whales splashing about in the ocean, just opposite the Quality Lighthouse Beach Resort.

The giant creatures came within 50m of the shore and were not deterred by a boat zooming past.

Quite a crowd gathered to watch them surfacing at the same spot for about 40 minutes.
