Does it mean the Yarra is healthy if a dolphin is in it?
110:21
Not necessarily.
110:22
It can be.
110:23
It is basically what, from the video footage, these dolphins were on a very dedicated, what looked to be a foraging activity.
110:32
So they're in a tight-knit pod and they're on a bit of a mission.
110:35
And so what they can do with the rivers is they can actually push the sort of the fish up into the rivers and have a bit of a feed and a forage.
110:42
And it looks like they sort of visited the Yarra and went around to the docklands and they'll eventually make their way back out into the bay.
111:13
They're really beautiful, aren't they?
20:31
Absolutely
20:31
... and so I think a lot of that hate comes from people just being jealous.
20:34
Um, jealous of how well it does, and, and how good things are.
20:38
And, you know, I was thinking about, you know, literature and, and upmarket literature the other day, and, you know, I love beautiful words.
20:49
I love beautiful prose.
20:50
There's so many romance authors that have just, like, sentences that make me think about the world, and think about, you know, reread the sentence and just, like, hold onto it for a moment 'cause it's just so beautiful in its craft.
21:04
You know, some of the stuff that comes out of Kate Canterbury, Jessica Joyce, like, I read some of their sentences, and I'm like, "Oh, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." And I don't know, you know, you may not con- necessarily consider that literary, but I think it's way more beautiful than anything literary I've ever read.
