Jelly fish in Port Phillip Bay and a Pelican

I got some close up photos of the Blue Blubber jellyfish that we see in Port Phillip Bay while kitesurfing and swimming.  While they are not classified as poisonous, they can apparently cause an itchy rash.  If you come in contact with these the treatment is to apply vinegar or Stingose then wash it with salt water (not fresh water).

The other jellyfish found in the Bay are the Lion's Mane (treat as for the Blue Blubber), Southern Tailed and Moon.





And here is a Pelican taking off
