flag Humpback whales are thriving off Australia’s coast, thanks to conservation success, drawing crowds with close encounters.

flag Every October, thousands of humpback whales migrate along Australia’s NSW Far South Coast, drawing crowds to witness breaches, tail slaps, and close encounters. flag The 2025 migration, marked by unseasonably warm weather, has been especially vibrant, with whales frequently passing near shore, including at Tathra wharf. flag Scientists credit a dramatic recovery in the eastern humpback population—now estimated at around 50,000—up from just 150 in the 1960s—due to global whaling bans and conservation efforts. flag This rebound is celebrated as a major success, reconnecting people with nature and inspiring shared wonder.
