And heey, it’s not every day you see a school of dolphins happily playing among the ferry traffic – right at the middle of the entrance to Circular Quay… !! between the Opera House and the Bridge. Second time they’ve been there this week. They obviously like it here. A whale was there a year or two back. What a nature wonderland Sydney is!
