We spent a beautiful, cloudy morning at the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary, exploring the mangroves and the shipwrecks. The sanctuary is in the Port River and Barker inlet, and although it is very close to the city and harbour, once you are on the water, you feel miles away from all civilization.
The water was perfectly still, with only the waterbirds and dolphins breaking the surface.
The sanctuary is also home to a 'shipwreck graveyard' which provides good habitat for fish and water birds.
This shipwreck lies in very shallow water and provides a great photo opportunity.
I paddled around the wreck and photographed it from all sides, but I think I still have a few things to learn about photographing from a kayak...
The bottle-nose dolphins came quite close, and although they didn't pay too much attention to us they were very aware of our presence. A few times they swam underneath the kayaks and came up right next to the one where my husband and daughter sat and watched her closely. It seemed like they knew she was only a small child.
