The normal pattern for Warrnambool Whales is for them to snoop around the coast for a few days and then start heading to Logans Beach Warrnambool. Once the Logans Beach area has been 'scouted' by the mother whale they go back out to sea and have their calf.
They then return to Logans Beach Warrnambool to care for their new born whale calf through winter before returning to south oceans in September and October.
