Each year, roughly between late May and early October, Southern Right Whales return to their nursery at Logan's Beach to give birth and raise their calves.
Just offshore, in clear view, the giant, gentle mothers and their giant children loll about and play, enjoying the shelter of Lady Bay.
There are a range of tools to keep you up to date on the arrival and daily movements of Warrnambool whales.
