WHALE NURSERY
Warrnambool is known as Victoria’s Southern Right Whale Nursery.
Almost every year between May and September female southern right whales return to the waters of Logans Beach to calve. The whales often swim within a hundred metres of the shore and can be viewed from the specially constructed Logans Beach whale viewing platform in the sands dunes or from the beach.
Why do the whales come to Warrnambool?
Southern right whales have been visiting Warrnambool for hundreds of years. Once they were hunted almost to the point of extinction, but since whaling was outlawed in 1935 their numbers have been growing. In summer, southern right whales live in the subAntartic. In winter, they migrate to warmer waters around the southern areas of Australia. The females migrate to the ‘nursery’ areas close to the shore to bear their calves, while the males, yearlings and young adults remain further out to sea. The females generally stay in the nursery for many weeks, allowing the calves to feed and gather strength for their journey back to the sub-Antartic waters.
Is it a southern right whale?
The southern right whale can be recognised by its smooth black back and lack of dorsal fin. On the head of each southern right whale is a number of crusty outgrowths called callosities. The callosity pattern varies from whale to whale. Irregular white patches sometimes found on the whale’s belly distinguish these animals from other species.
Why are they so named?
The early whalers regarded the whale as the ‘right’ whale to hunt. They swam slowly and close to the shore, floated once harpooned, and yielded large quantities of oil and whalebone. The word ‘southern’ relates to southern waters.
The birth of a whale
Whales breed once every two or three years. Pregnancy lasts between 9 and 10 months and the calf is suckled from a milk gland beneath the mother’s body. The calf is about 5 to 6 metres long at birth, grows quickly, and may double its weight in the first week.
Visit Logans Beach whale watching platform east of Hopkins River to view the whales in season. Admission is free and the platform is open at all times. For the latest whale sightings go to visitwarrnambool.com.au or phone 1800 637 725.
WINTER WHALE TRAIL
The Whale Trail is a must-do winter road trip for whale sightings along the Great Ocean Road from Warrnambool through Port Fairy to Portland (or the reverse order if you’re coming from South Australia).
This section of coastline is known as the ‘whale corridor’ because in the winter months whales from the Antarctic make the journey to warmer waters along this coast in order to breed, birth and nurse their young.
The Whale Trail is a collection of locally made itineraries of what to see and do along the way. Whether you’re a nature lover, an adventurer or a cosy up food and wine type there will be an itinerary to suit.
You can expect to discover secret beaches, fun indoor and outdoor winter activities for families and couples, breathtaking nature, volcanoes, wildlife, waterfalls, walks and the best places to eat and drink along the way.
Go to the Whale Trail page at visitwarrnambool.com.au to discover a full program of winter events in one place. Subscribe to the Great Ocean Road Whale Blog to stay up to date with whale sighting notifications.
