my mistake.

My bad.. all i can say is AG school, kinda missed the english side of things :) i thought metro was any large place of population..  If they are coming past Geraldton, id imagine they also dropped into the "real" metro area on the way north.

Last Monday I had a smallish whale circle my boat near Rottnest, probably a dwarf minki. I also heard the Fremantle harbour master warning ships of a large humpback whale in Cockburn sound.
