Have successfully bastardised a lot of great threads here tonight, my apologies :-(
Honest question though, why can’t us Australian’s have a pet Monkey Mate, would they go feral eventually like Cats if left unattended?

Yeah, they are a new 'religion', many with 'born again' zeal with all sorts of wacky conspiracy theory ideas mish mashed together. We live in an age where anti science & anti expertise is common, and where knowledge, facts & common sense are replaced with magical thinking which allows these people to believe that believing something makes it a fact. They are dangerous, a serious menace to our communities, but are validated by the rise in their online numbers who spur each other on. Quite alarming how many seemingly 'sensible' people believe the virus is fake & much more besides. Thankfully the vast majority of folk recognise them for what they are, but it doesn't stop them being a danger to us all. They are the gullible, sucked in by all the Q-anon nonsense, believing they are the real informed (woke) & trying to convince everyone else that it is the majority who are the gullible! It won't surprise me if we have some here who may choose to attack me for saying so. In the event that that occurs I wont respond, & they'll be talking to themselves.

I do agree, but could we not go down the political discussion route, please.
No Politics implied nor intended. It's a serious community safety issue.
However I do agree that even mentioning it runs a risk of divisive debate should there be any 'believers' among us, which is why I made it clear I would not be party to ongoing debate.
I do not believe the risk of 'division' should get in the way of mentioning the risk. If we had roving bands of identifiable machine gun toting killers going around killing & maiming I expect we'd all speak out & say it was not on. Saying nothing lends validity. Discussion gives it breath. It's a difficult line to walk. I say that naming the risk (as I have done) is appropriate. But no more - at least not here.
This from the USA says all that is needed

Back on track. We saw a pod of humpbacks swim past, over a 800m-1km out. The Sigma lens performed superbly in the late afternoon light.

That is probably the tenth time we have gone looking for them this year. We happened upon this pod as soon as we got there. It is luck of the draw. A couple of weeks ago, after ages sitting there, I got cold and went home. The next day, I was talking to a guy who set up in the spot I vacated. He told me that within fifteen minutes of me leaving, he had taken magnificent pics of an orca, just fifty metres offshore.
