Two humpbacks, one extraordinary highway 🐋
From our archive: a pair breaching off the Gold Coast, with the skyline behind them. These waters are part of a much bigger journey.
Each year, humpbacks migrate along Australia’s east coast between Antarctic feeding grounds and warmer waters further north — a journey of up to about 10,000 km.
Off Queensland they generally move north around May–July, then turn south again from about July–August. Timing shifts a bit year to year with conditions.
A familiar coastline to us. One stretch of an extraordinary migration for them.
