Impressive creatures! I'm impressed with how docile they were, and how calm Lydia was - the mention of stingrays made me think of their (defensive) sting and the (very low) risk of being stung ... I suppose this is a non-issue when you can see them and you wait for them to approach you
In Britain we don't have many dangerous animals, so are not brought up with a healthy respect for wildlife (spiders, snakes, stingrays, etc.) ...

[@lydiaandwehan]

We were surprised too, we did hear they were friendly but didn't know how friendly! Getting used to all of the wild animals in Australia is still a learning curve for us also honestly, Lydia's mom did freak out a little when we told her we swam with stingrays 🤣
When Lydia moved over from the UK she got the warnings of 'every creature in Australia is dangerous so avoid everything' hahah!

Those stingrays were incredible! What an amazing experience!

[@lydiaandwehan]

Definitely, it was a surreal experience having them be so interested in interacting with us!
