The Sound is Alive
Posted: 8th March 2011
The Sound is Alive
I truly hope the
Perth community can have as much love for the Cockburn Sound as I do. I
regularly swim in the Cockburn Sound, whilst visiting the Naval Base
Shacks.
Despite being surrounded by heavy industry, the sound is very much alive.
Last
Sunday I had the joy of fishing with my son near Clarence Rocks
(Henderson Cliffs) at the Shacks when we spotted a dolphin, within
a minute we realised there was also a mother, teaching her baby to fish
in the calm waters of the Sound - Just as I was.
It bought back
memories of 25 years ago, when I was a child and we would wait in the
morning and the evening for the dolphins to swim in along the shore
line.
They were certainly not frightened and came within a metre
of the shore, following the reef along the coast heading towards
challenge beach, just as they had all those years ago
It made me think, I have been hearing of further development in the region.
I
certainly hope we can preserve this stretch of coastline, and continue
to offer a sanctuary for the wildlife that lives and breeds in this
region.
Lets save the Naval Base Shacks and Save the Cockburn Sound. They are both certainly worthy of preserving.
