- In Byron Bay Today’s Weekend windup.
Well folks t’s just been a hum dinger of a week for everyone in Byron Bay yes siree . For us sliders it’s been off the hook all week. Both the locals and visitors alike have been having a ball. The only ones that didn’t seem to enjoy it were those bringing their own greedy selfish aggressive agenda with them and trying to hassle the crap out of people. No wonder they had no fun. Seriously folks try leaving your competitive head at home or stay where you are. Don’t ruin the fun for those peacefully and gratefully enjoying themselves in the Bay. For those who were smart enough to look beyond coastblotch there were some amazing new banks to be found this week, totally empty and just begging to be surfed. Those that explored scored. The week has also seen heaps of cool sea life. We spotted Mantas, Turtles, Dolphins, and several large Sharks around the place. So watch those pinky toes. There have been some amazing sunsets, lots of swell and plenty to see this week. So slow down, relax and see what you may, take time to stop and look for the abundance In Byron Bay Today.

Posted in: Cool Picks, Just for fun.Tags: dolphin chefs, dolphins, fun stuff.One of this weekend’s hot stories has been the account of female Spencer Gulf Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins prepping their cuttlefish meals.
For any dolphins reading this, here’s the method to use (as was explained in a piece written by Christine Dell’Amore on the National Geographic website:
The female herded a cuttlefish to the seafloor, pinned it with her snout, and thrusted downward, breaking the cuttlefish’s internal shell, or cuttlebone, and instantly killing it.
The dolphin then raised the dead body into the water and beat it with her snout, draining its ink.
Next the prey was returned to the seafloor, where the dolphin scraped it along the sand to strip off its bone.
