Queensland native Anthony Brown was out whale watching near Australia’s Gold Coast on June 26 when he came across a stunning whale duo. There are very strict Australian laws dictating that one should not approach whales in their natural habitat, but, as Brown says: “There are no rules stating they can’t come over to you, and these two whales did just that, time and time again”.

Because of this, he was able to capture this great footage of the majestic creatures as they swam about. Brown says it was a magical experience he will never forget. Credit: Anthony Brown
