"Carrie Davis describes seeing her first adult humpback whale of the season
launching out of the water off the coast of Sydney last week as magical.
“It’s just this feeling of awe to see this fat whale of that size get all that
body out of the water,” said Davis of Go Whale Watching in Sydney. “No matter
how many times you see it, it always takes your breath away.”
The annual procession of humpback whales migrating north from their summer
feeding grounds in Antartica to warmer waters in the Great Barrier Reef has
begun.
Sydneysiders can look forward to another bumper season, which spans May to
July, of whales performing tail and dorsal fin slaps, breaches and head lunges,
with an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 whales expected to pass the east coast.
Davis said a boat trip was the best way to spot a whale so viewers could see
the giants perform their acrobatics up close. The whales can also often be
spotted from any headland.
Any time of day was good for catching a glimpse, she said, but viewers will
have the most luck on a stormy day when whales breach the most."
