Keep an eye out guys & don’t forget to book a whale watching adventure. 🐳🐋

The whale migration is now underway along our coastline!

Over the coming months, we will likely see whales travelling close to shore, and unfortunately some may become entangled in shark control gear or strand on our beaches.

In an emergency, knowing who to call can make all the difference. Confusion over the correct contact number can delay the critical response needed to help these animals.

📞 If a whale is entangled in shark control gear (shark nets or drum lines), call the shark control program hotline:

1800 806 891

📞 If a whale is stranded or beached, use the QWildlife App or call the Department of Environment and Science:

1300 130 372

Please save these numbers and share this post with family and friends. A quick call to the right agency can help ensure the fastest possible response for whales in distress.

Happy World Bee Day 🌼🐝

Did you know? Bees can visit up to 5,000 flowers in a single day 🌸

As they move between blooms they transfer pollen, helping plants produce seeds, fruits, and new growth. Around one third of the food we eat depends on pollinators like bees.

Without them, many plants wouldn’t be able to reproduce, and entire ecosystems would struggle to survive.

A little reminder to protect and care for the smallest creatures making the biggest difference 🍃✨
