Every year, whales migrate along Australia's east coast. They head north to the warmer waters of the Queensland Coast and Coral Sea to mate and give birth from May to August; and return south towards the Antarctic waters from September to November.

We watched in awe as the calf and mother whale made lots of splashes. For quite some time they were some distance from the boat. Then all was quiet for a while. Until there they were, merely metres away from us, fins in the air and their white bellies exposed. It was incredibly amazing! There were squeals of excitement from the boat and smiles all around.


My husband and i stayed in Alexandra Headlands in a stunning Air-Bnb which was in a very good location, the apartment was well put together, relaxing & homely. Sunshine, stunning views + the lovely sea breeze was a perfect little getaway with the husband.
