Have a Happy Bench Monday. Let the week bring you joy and pleasure. Don't stress about Christmas presents or cooking for a cast of thousands. Just tell yourself that (as we say in these Antipodean parts) "She'll be right mate." Chill, baby, chill.

A humpback calf enjoying life on its way back down south with its mum. The southern migration from the northern waters to the Southern Ocean has begun. This calf was born in the warmth of the Exmouth Gulf and Ningaloo in northern WA but will live in the cold waters of the south. It is probably less than four months old.

This was taken in Geographe Bay, off the south west coast of WA, which is a natural break point and resting area on the journey, being generally calm and sheltered. We saw plenty of whales this year, which is a very pleasing development.

I agree with the whale: life is grand, innit.

May I wish a Happy Fence Friday to all and add my further wishes for a fine and delightful weekend for everyone.

This rickety-looking fence borders a path to the beach at Silver Sands/Watersun in Mandurah. The view is across Comet Bay to Halls Head on the right and to Seashells/Mandurah on the left. The dunes here offer protection from the sea and are themselves protected from predatory developers and real estate agents by legislation: a win-win.

The Skeleton Jetty, adjacent to Busselton Jetty in WA.

The "skelly" was constructed next to the Busselton Jetty in the early 1900s to carry rail freight to the jetty from the town so that it could be loaded onto ships. It survived Cyclone Alby in 1978 when a large part of the main jetty was destroyed. The authorities removed much of it for safety reasons. Thus there is not a lot of the "skelly" left. It is gently rotting but provides nesting for seabirds which can be observed as people walk along the jetty out to sea.

The jetty was eventually saved but then almost destroyed again in 1999 when it caught fire. That it still exists is a testament to the people of Busselton who refused to countenance its loss and who campaigned tirelessly for the funds to rebuild it as it is today: the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere (1.841 km).
