"It’s that time of year again, when the humpback highway is about to hit peak
blubber to blubber as humpback whales migrate up Australia’s east and west
coasts from Antarctic waters.
They’re headed to the whale disco – warm breeding waters where males will sing
their whale song to attract female company, and pregnant females will birth
their calves.
Already this season we’ve seen dolphins dancing with whales, dwarf minke whales
with their calves, killer whales and a re-sighting of Curly, the humpback with
an unusual curved tail. That’s only just the beginning.
We expect more than 40,000 humpback whales to make this annual journey. I’ll be
joining the ABC for their special tonight,
Southern Ocean Live, to explore
the science around this glorious migration first hand.
But as excitement for the whale season builds, there’s just one whale on the
minds of many: the famous white humpback whale named Migaloo."
