This is part of the transcript on Radio National about the Dolphins that were moved from SA marine land to QLD.
"Anyway, I didn't think much more of it and then I moved to Queensland, and then when I moved to the Gold Coast, I visited all the theme parks, as you do, Movie World, Sea World, Dream World. So I went to Sea World and I was going to the dolphin pond, and there were these dolphins on their sides, like half-dead goldfish. You know how they swim on the surface and you think 'oh', so I created a bit of a stir. I insisted that the trainers come, the dolphins were dying, and I got a little bit hysterical at the scene of the Sea World dolphin pond.
And the trainer…they came rushing over and then they said, 'Oh no, don't worry about that, that's the Marineland dolphins, they haven't stopped looking at the stars and the sky since they got here.' And I was, like, 'Oh, oh my God,' that's entering into consciousness that we're all taught from a very young age, that animals don't have this kind of creative consciousness, that they would star-gaze or anything like that"

This is the best find since the fox head dive video. Well apart from finding my neice at the airport and spending a few days at Floriade together.....
