Sea Shepherd Halloween Party

Fri 28th Oct 11
On Friday night, we had our Spooktacular Sea Shepherd Halloween Party. It was really good, everyone dressed up, we had a DJ, plus cool raffle prizes eg 'JetSki Safari!'. We raised several hundred, which was amazing, considering not many people turned up. Everyone enjoyed themselved, and that's what really counts.

 

The DJs were brought to us by Foundation Events Empire. Thanks Simon

 

I met Death lol

 

Terri the founder and Carol a valuable volunteer.

Whale Watching

Sun 23rd Oct 11
Yesterday was our big day! Whale Watching with Sea Shepherd Gold Coast! We went out with Whales in Paradise and our supporters. It was a nice, warm spring day, everyone had an enjoyable time. Well maybe not the people who got sea sick lol. We sold some merchandise, signed up new subscribers, plus I did an informative speech. We saw a few whales, not as many as I hoped, then again it is almost the end of the migration season. Soon Operation Kami Kaze (Divine Wind) will kick off, down in the Southern Oceans.

 

Animal Action Day

Sunday 16th Oct 
Animal Action Day is an annual worldwide event to raise awareness, appreciation and respect of all animals. The Gold Coast event was at Winders Park, in Currumbin. Sea Shepherd Gold Coast was invited to have a table there. A few of us went down. It was a sunny day and we had a beautiful location, by the river with paddle-boarders going past us.

 

The day was devoted to our endangered, almost extinct Aussie animal, the Bilby. Please read up about the Bilbies and help in any way you can.



By the way, Aquinas Surfing and Bodyboarding Annual has been postponed, due to bad weather.

Coolangatta Markets

Sunday 9th Oct - Coolangatta Art and Craft Market.
Claire, Carl and I sat by the beach and raised awareness and funds for Sea Shepherd.
We also invented a new 'greeting' lol

CannonBall

Friday 7th Oct, SS-GC got invited to The Cannon Ball - A Rock N' Roll Pirate Masque, at Mt Tamborine. We set up an 'Outreach and Information' table, selling merchandise. It was an awesome night, with pirates, burlesque, live bands and with part of the proceeds going to Sea Shepherd!
A special thank you to CannonBall organisers and The Bearded Dragon venue.

Google+

As part of my seashepherd.goldcoast @gamil email account, I've signed up for Google+. Although my profile was empty, something like 30 people added me! Therefore I learned how to use Google+ and will start putting updates up. Apparently there is no worldwide Sea Shepherd group on there yet. That's why people from all over the world are adding me instead lol.
My first message was from a lady in Europe 'I've been waiting for you :)' awww

EarthDance Byron Bay

Sat 24th September 2011
I went to EarthDance, a small music festival in Mullimbimby near Byron Bay. It has been organised by Electric Forest and catering was organised by Sea Shepherd Byron Bay. EarthDance was really awesome, the music was good and attracted quite a crowd, the hippie people were all friendly, the the all-vegan food was yummy, omg cinammon lasagne! When we got tired, we sat by the fire. I finally met the Sea Shepherd Byron Bay team, really cool people, I'd say they are the strongest team in Australia!

 

White whale calf

A rare white whale calf, believed to be just a few weeks old, has been spotted off the Whitsundays coast in Queensland.
However it's impossible to tell yet whether the animal is related to the famous white whale Migaloo.
