Watch the astonishing moment a massive whale surfaces just one metre away from a tiny recreational boat off Western Australia.
Registered nurse Ash Core, 36, from the Gold Coast, shared the dramatic footage after her husband Nash, 40, and their son Parker, 11, who had an unforgettable encounter.
The family had been trawling for fish behind the reef break when their lure became stuck. As Nash manoeuvred their small 3.1-metre tinny away from the reef, Parker suddenly shouted, “Look, there’s a whale!” Seconds later, the enormous creature rose out of the water right beside them.
In the clip, Parker can be heard gasping in shock as the whale surfaces dangerously close.
Ash said: “I was so shocked at how close the whale was to them when it surfaced. This has never happened to us before it’s pretty incredible.”
Friends and family have flooded the family with messages, some calling the encounter “scary” while others described it as “a memory to cherish forever.”
