Whale Wandering

MONTHLY | Issue 1 | July 2024

Whale-watching season in Sydney runs from May until late July, and again from August until November. The whales of NSW begin to make their journey north in May (humpbacks begin passing Sydney in mid-May), with peak whale-watching season in NSW being between June and July. After they have calved, they travel back south (Aug - Nov) a little closer to shore, playful babes in tow - who are all learning tricks and proudly showcasing their sick new skills - as kids do.

These gentle giants inspire a sense of awe, and we all can't help but point, gasp, sigh, and feel happy when we spot a spurt from far out in the sea… as if we, too, are part of the magical journey.

If you’re in Sydney, grab a jacket, a thermos of tea & some binos and venture to a headland to glimpse this lovely migration IRL - or follow @carvedbanks and check out his site. Incredible drone footage of our beautiful sea and local Maroubra shore like the one below.
