Heavy breathing of mammals’ amorous energy….. You can see the whales from shore – but hearing them is different, especially if they are wooshing past your feet as they chase, in hope, a girlfriend!

Whale of a time

On Albany Whale Tours ‘Sail-A-Way’, our guests’ feet are pretty close to the whales as they rush past our boat.  Yesterday, some didn’t rush – just mooched closeby us, making friends….but today!!!

Nine Humpbacks by Bald Head – and they were excited!  Accepting our stationary presence, they swooped, splashed and accelerated with amazing power as they played ‘teenage tag’ at water’s surface within metres of us, for an hour.  Albany……what an amazing wilderness!

Today’s guests loved it (see Visitor’s Feedback and Comments on website www.albanywhaletours.com.au) and, of course, some are using our gift of a free return within the next fortnight.  Good for Albany!  Good for us!

The Albany GateWAy web portal provides free and paid advertising for business and community users resident in the Great Southern.

For the past 10 years Albany Gateway has provided residents, communities, organizations and businesses of the Great Southern an online web portal to communicate within the region as well as on the world wide web with great success.

If you advertise on the internet, it is necessary however to be able to recognize an internet SCAM.
You will find all the information you need to recognize a scam on the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission’s website www.scamwatch.gov.au
The SCAM email is identified by five key indicators:

1. The “buyer” is always in a remote location, overseas or offshore
2. The “buyer” has no phone access only internet access.
3. The “buyer” can only make payment through PayPal.
4. The “buyer” is offering more money for the vehicle than what’s been advertised without ever having viewed the vehicle.
5. The “buyer” is purchasing the vehicle for someone else
