Does anyone know of pet friendly caravan parks along the coast that during the winter months whales can be seen from the land? My mum said she has seen them from Woolgoolga but not a lot? Time is not a problem any state will do?

At the station, the three Aussies each buy a ticket and watch as the three Maoris buy just one ticket between them. "How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks one of t...
