The Most Unforgettable Happening In Hervey Bay

⋅ Travel ⋅ 0 Comments

If you are an adventurous animal-lover, take a holiday when it is wintertime in Hervey Bay in Queensland, Australia, and experience whale watching. Giant humpback whales put on an incredible show doing just what they do naturally. Taking one of the available boats will bring you close to these fantastic creatures.

 

Whale Breaching

 

Something you can expect to experience is a whale breach. This happens when the humpback, all 45 tons of it, propels itself straight out of the water by flicking its tail. Not many people realise that whales do not dive very deep before breaching, so they are pretty close to the surface.

 

Humpbacks swim beneath the surface, then bend their heads back and up and leap out of the water practically upright. They twist their bodies 180 degrees and then crash back down on their backs while tons of water splashes in every direction. This whale breach can be seen from 5-6 km or more. The whales are not being playful but have a way to see all around them and to see if they might or might not be in danger. Calves are carefully taught by adults how to breach correctly.

 

Playful Humpbacks

 

Humpback whales are among the most playful and acrobatic of all large whales. They do exciting things like lying on the side and “pec slapping” when they raise their large pectoral fins right up out of the water and then slap it hard against the surface. In addition, some humpbacks enjoy coming up against a vessel and doing a slap to wet everyone standing on the bow.

Another form of communication is the “tail slap”, which can mean a warning from a whale not to get too close to their territory. Other times they enjoy bobbing along and watching the vessels going by and at times in ways interacting with the people onboard watching them.

 

This is a great feeling to interact in specific ways with the fifth largest animal in the world.

 

What you are looking for is most likely the bow that signals a humpback whale is nearby. The whale will let out a massive amount of dry air at 400 km per hour, which looks like a puff of crystals looking into the sun. Then you might be able to see a black dorsal fine. It is not always easy to spot a whale, no matter how large they are the very first time. You want to prepare yourself for the eventuality that the whale might come shooting out of the water.

 

Hervey Bay is the best place to get used to whale watching but remember the whales can be swimming in any direction alongside or toward the vessel you are on, and then suddenly it’s “pec alp”, and you get a refreshing spray of cool water on you. The crews are always great at explaining their behaviour patterns and can point out sure signs that soon you will be up close with a humpback whale.

When is the whale watching season? Make sure that you book during the times when the whales are actively in Hervey Bay.

At times humpback whales don’t arrive in Hervey Bay individually bit in pods travelling together with one as the leader. Each day is a different kind of adventure but as exciting as when it all happens for the first time. If you have a chance to go whale watching, don’t pass it up and enjoy meeting the humpbacks.

 

Why the Best Form of Advertising is Wearing a Rubber Wrist Band

⋅ Travel ⋅ 0 Comments

You may have seen an increase in the popularity of customised wrist bands during the last seven or eight years. They’ve helped generate money and streamline event logistics all across the world, and they’re employed for a wide range of reasons across many different industries.

 

Wrist bands have been worn to demonstrate support for causes such as high-profile diseases, environmental issues, and racism. They’ve had a big impact in a multitude of areas, and for a time, they revolutionized the way charities and causes sell themselves to the general public.

 

Wristbands: Types and Materials

Wristbands are well-known for their adaptability, and it is this versatility that makes them so easy to personalize. Hundreds of online retailers sell a variety of customized wrist bands, with the majority of them catering to both the general public and businesses.

 

Personalized wrist bands are typically constructed of lightweight and durable materials like silicone, neoprene, or plastic, but they can also be made of vinyl, paper, leather, or fabric. They’re easy to put on and come in a variety of colours, patterns, and styles.

 

This tremendous variety of patterns, materials, and colours has pushed customized wristbands beyond just utility and into the realm of fashion and long-term souvenirs. Medical wristbands are most recognized for identifying newborn babies, but they are also worn daily by persons with specific diseases, such as specific blood types.

 

Wristbands with Personalization for Charitable Organizations

 

Wrist bands for charity have become extremely popular with charities looking to raise money and awareness. The bracelet can be purchased and worn regularly to express support for the subject that has piqued people’s interest. In many cases, people may not have a lot of money to donate to a cause, so purchasing a cheap customized wristband won’t break the bank.

 

Giving to charity becomes considerably more accessible to the average individual as a result of this. The cost is maintained low because most charity wristbands are made of moulded silicone, which keeps the per-unit cost low. Organizations that purchase wristbands in quantity can also save a lot of money.

 

Personalized wristbands have been used by several philanthropic organizations. For example, epilepsy which is a neurological condition that affects people is attributed to the wrist band of colours half blue and half red.

 

Event Wristbands with Personalization

 

Another application for customised wristbands is in event management. A variety of factors can influence the wristband you choose for your event. Wristbands of various colours can be used to determine whether or not a person is eligible for certain zones or services.

 

They can also be used to promote other services or events by having different logos and promotional materials printed on them. Almost every detail of colour and material can be customized to your specifications. Personalized wristbands can be used for a variety of purposes during an event such as admissions, restrictions to access, identification of personnel, etc

 

Sponsorship

It’s no surprise that the leading wristband suppliers are busy creating  customised wristbands. With such a wide range of uses for wristbands and the incredible power they’ve utilised for marketing sponsorship causes, it’s no surprise that personalised wristbands have become so popular and are worn by so many people.

Traveling today is almost as complicated as running the New York City Marathon. Thanks to the increasing infections and restrictions that each country has adopted in recent months.

Those who have decided to move in the autumn are still favoring Italy, but for those who just can’t help but travel abroad, which are the countries where you can go without restrictions?

The new decree has taken over the previous one and continues to identify 6 groups of countries with different statuses.

Those in which you travel without limitation are San Marino and Vatican City. But there are also some European Union countries that are open to Italy with specific provisions.

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Portugal (does not apply to Madeira), United Kingdom, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the Principality of Monaco have not restrictions on entry. The other European countries, despite having free movement from Italy, have applied mandatory quarantine or buffer on arrival.

For travelers returning to Italy from Belgium, France, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Spain, the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, they can only return with a negative swab done within 72 hours prior to arrival or do so upon arrival at the airport or in a health facility within 48 hours.

For Romania, travel is allowed for any reason from / to these countries but, upon returning to Italy, there is the obligation of fiduciary isolation and health surveillance, it is necessary to fill in a self-declaration and you can reach your final destination in Italy only by private vehicle.

Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Thailand and Uruguay still have their borders closed to tourism. return to your home, home or residence. Travel for tourism is therefore not permitted.

How to organize a perfect trip to Australia

⋅ Blog, Travel ⋅ 0 Comments

Do you dream of a trip to the other side of the world? Maybe you are planning your tour in Australia, but have a thousand questions about how to do it? Here are my tips, collected during my recent trip to the land of kangaroos.

Melbourne : 2 days . I handle jet lag very well, this allowed me to visit the city even with so little available. In my opinion 2 days are enough, but if you want to try the various very modern cafes and restaurants that are in the city, you can also dedicate a few more days to them.

Great Ocean Road : 4 days. The stops were Apollo Bay 2 nights and Port Campell 1 night.

Great Barrier Reef: 7 days . Cairns 2 days (3 would have been better as we could have seen the rainforest as well). Magnetic Island 3 days on this beautiful island full of nature, including snorkeling, yoga, walking and koalas. Airlie Beach 2 days to see Whiteheaven beach.

Sydney : 4 days enough to see the city, but as far as I’m concerned we could have stayed even a week, going to sea and we wouldn’t have been bored.

I used the low cost airline Tiger for the Melbourne – Cairns flight, spending about 100 Euros for 3 hours of flight. The second flight from Proserpine, near Arlie Beach, to Sydney with the low cost airline JetStar always spending around 100 Euros.

To get around the Great Ocean Road we rented the car with Europcar . For 4 days we spent around 300 Euros with full insurance.

Finally we used the bus to move around Queensland and visit the Great Barrier Reef. The Greyhound Australia company took us from Cairns to Townsville 6 hours, and from Townsville to Arlie Beach 4 hours for around 50 Euros each way. Buses are a good solution if you don’t feel like taking your car in a left-hand drive country. In Queensland they are widely used, comfortable and efficient.
