Whale Season Returns to Victoria’s Sheltered Bay

Melbourne, Australia — Humpback and southern right whales have begun their annual northern migration along Australia’s southeast coast, and some of these 40-ton nomads are detouring into Port Phillip Bay, according to a press release by the Dolphin Research Institute. Three humpbacks have already been confirmed inside the Heads this season, delighting shoreline spectators from Seaford to Mount Martha and reminding locals that Victoria’s busiest recreational waterway is also part of a marine superhighway.
