That evening I slowed down pace of adventure and lazed around in shallow of one of many swimming pools that dot property. I lay in water and congratulated myself for following up on lead I found on Traveljini.com. I was browsing through site looking for something in India – Traveljini.com is leading travel portal in country – when I noticed that it was offering a close encounter with wild dolphins package in Australia. Before I knew it I was hooked; curiosity turned to desire and desire to compulsion. I had to get to Tangalooma. Now that I was here, it was all Traveljini.com promised it would be and more. Later that evening I was down by floodlit pier to interact with Tangalooma bottlenose dolphins once more. The ranger attached to Dolphin Research Centre assured us that feeding ceremony accounted for only around 20% of dolphins’ diet and that they had to depend on their own hunting instincts to catch fish in open seas. According to her contact between dolphin and humans on this island goes back a long way to time when two cooperated to catch fish. The dolphins would herd schools of fish towards shore where aborigine would catch them in their nets. Once catch was hauled in, local fishermen would throw back a part of it into water for dolphins to feed on.

The next morning I shifted back into high gear when I mounted an all terrain vehicles (ATV), a modified four-wheel motorcycle with a souped up engine, and went speeding down a deserted beach before heading for a dusty rollercoaster ride over sand dunes that waved over island. It was a fitting finale to an adventure that lifted me to zany heights and gifted me with peaceful and quiet moments; an adventure during which I had good fortune to be part, if only briefly, of legendary bonding between humans and dolphins.
