Spotted at the Wharf Mooloolaba – one seriously chill seal!
Taking a well-earned break on a bench seat, this friendly fellow is kicking back with his Sea Life Mooloolaba beach ball, ready to welcome locals and tourists. Whether you’re out for a stroll, grabbing an ice cream, or exploring the area, don’t forget to stop by and say g’day!
