Moreton Island best known is the group of wild dolphins that have been eating and drinking every day for decades. Each evening, the group would be accustomed to travel to the shore of the wharf, waiting for the visitors to feed ,365 days rain and shine, sometimes early feeding has not begun, they will be very quiet on the side or play or quiet patience waiting. When it comes to feeding time, the administrator will ask visitors to line up to water in turn, obviously many people are so close to dolphins so excited, but to protect dolphins, please do not touch them with your hands. A dolphin is a very clever and kind animal, and when you walk into it, it starts to communicate with you with its eyes, sometimes rubbing its mouth against your feet to show friendliness, and occasionally it even raises its head out of the water and smiles at you, and at that moment your heart immediately melts.
