‘W’ is for Winter and Whale Watching!
After the unrelenting heat of summer (and for much of autumn) it has finally cooled down, and it looks like winter is on its way.
But that doesn’t mean our winters are woeful.
Typically, winter is dry and mild, with temperatures from 11 degrees at night to 21 degrees during the day.
And during this chilled time of year, the sun rises at 6.30am and sets with a display of pink-tinged hues at 5pm.
Winter is also a beaut time of year to experience the whales passing by – June 1 signals the official start of the whale watching season.
Each year about 18,000 humpback whales travel north on their 10,000 kilometre journey from Antarctica to the temperate Pacific Ocean.
They bring their calves with them in search of the warmer conditions, as the bubs don’t have sufficient body fat to survive in the freezing waters of the Southern Ocean.
A selection of tours are available to catch a glimpse of these incredible animals.
