On Wednesday afternoon we were fortunate to see a Southern Right whale pass just to the east of Julian Rocks.

Whilst most Southern Rights migrate to their birthing and breeding grounds off the coast of southern Australia, there is a small rarely seen population that migrates up the east coast.

Southern Cross University has recorded record numbers of Humpback whales passing Cape Byron during the two week census starting last week.

Last Wednesday 107 whales were counted breaking all previous records. This was bettered on Friday with 110 whales recorded passing the cape.

So far it has been a great start to Byron’s Whale Watching season.
