The whales migrate in numbers so large the Australian eastern coast is known as the Humpback Highway. There's a great book on it too, if you're interested (reviewed here).
Officially the season runs May - November with June & July peak months as they go north, and then again September & October as they come back.
We've yet to get out and see them but I must make that happen.
These pics are from previous trips.
Do you go whale watching?

Wow, awesome photos of the whales.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Humpback Highway – what a magical name! And how wonderful that you have this place so close by. I’ll never forget our whale watching tours – especially the one in Iceland, where the gentle giants came thrillingly close and seemed to play with such joy and ease.
ReplyDeleteWith a bit of luck, we might spot some whales this year, too – please keep your fingers crossed for us! 🐳💙
Thank you so much for your lovely visit on my blog. No matter which link-up led you to me, I’m always happy to see you – and this time I’ve joined your linky again, of course!
Your question really got me thinking: Why are jazz clubs so often in basements and cellars? I don’t know the definitive answer, but perhaps it has to do with the roots of jazz – having emerged in poorer, Black communities in the U.S., it may have first found a home in spaces where rent was lower… And acoustically, basements also help to contain the sound – a bonus for any upstairs neighbors, I imagine! 😉🎷
Sending love from Austria,

Never done this but I've only been dolphin watching and it was alot of fun
ReplyDeleteAs there are no whales here in Austria, as we are an inland, it´s not possible to go whale watching. But I saw a few as me made a cruise along the seaside of Norway. Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time and all the best
