I had to stop for a few minutes during my ride to work this morning.
As I was cycling over the Swan River across Windan Bridge I noticed a guy leaning over the railing watching something in the river below. I looked out to see a few dolphins splashing about in the water.
I continued across the bridge and once I got down to ground level beside the river I stopped to watch for a few minutes. Another cyclist stopped beside me and told me that he’s seen the dolphins at various places in the river three times in the past three weeks.
It was a marvellous opportunity to see these wonderful creatures enjoying the perfect conditions.
There are certainly a lot of reasons that I enjoy cycling to work – and this morning I added one more.
I have seen them in the Swan River a few times myself. Pretty neat thing to watch! Glad you had the chance to see them. We saw them closer to UWA on a couple of occasions.

Lovely. I’ve been told that it’s the same pod of dolphins moving up and down the river – that’s why I don’t always see them in the harbour down at Freo.
Wow.
You are really lucky. At least in that regard!!
Yes, one of the cool things about bike commuting is that you get to see so much more than in a car. On my bike commute I have seen an eagle diving down to catch fish, but I have never seen dolphins.
