The first whale of the season was spotted yesterday in Hervey Bay … off Coongul Creek … by all those on board a fishing charter.
The first whales to arrive are usually juveniles who are in a hurry to get back to their feeding grounds in Antarctic waters so we can expect more in the coming days although the first tours aren’t due to start for several weeks.
It looks as though this is going to be a really good season for the whales in Hervey Bay and if you want to book a tour or get more information about the whale watching cruises here in Hervey Bay the best place to start is the Whale Watch Tourist Centre.
Scenes like this one … with whales coming so close to the boat that you can almost touch them … are common here in Hervey Bay.

This year the Autumn weather here in Hervey Bay has been a little unpredictable.
After weeks of wind, rain and plenty of clouds we finally have a fine weekend in Hervey Bay.
