• The humpback whales of Eastern Australia - Fact sheet (PDF - 249 KB)

About the fact sheet

Each year between April and November, Australia's eastern coastline comes alive with the spectacular acrobatic displays of humpback whales.

Southern Hemisphere humpback whales migrate north each winter from their Southern Ocean feeding grounds to warmer waters to mate and calve. Read about the 'Group V' humpbacks that migrate along Australia's eastern coastline to the Great Barrier Reef lagoon.
