Whale Season

Where from? apparantly the viewing spots at the head of the bite have a habit of being Closed due to no one being bothered opening the gates

Thats a pain, from memory there are several spots to look out over the Bight. Not sure of when there around though.

"Between June and October of each year up to 100 Southern Right Whales frequent this area of the South Australian coastline to breed and give birth to whale calves. "

We have called in twice at Head of Bight and both times it was fantastic with the whales very close to shore.

Noldi last July we crossed over and called into the Whale watching facility that is sign posted on the SA side of the border. Cost I think from memory $10 each to go down the board walk through the kiosk and info centre. At the time we counted 12 within eye sight and apparently 60 where in the bay. Directly below the board walk and about 20m off shore we saw 2 cows with their calf's. Could of spent hours there but it was cold and miserable. Excellent photo and video opportunities.

Thanks all, can't wait, will actually be dropping in on the way back when we have more time. so i'll be able to check out some spots on the way over.
