Each year the whales cruise past Terrigal, our hometown, heading north and then later coming back south.
The local radio always announces when whales are in the area but we often just spotted them when we were sitting on our balcony. Here's the view from our balcony, which has a clear view across the bay:
The whales are easy to see through the binoculars but a quick drive down to the rock platform gives an amazingly close-up sighting of them.
It's some sight.
I found the story here.

Seabee, that whale isn't "frolicking". Can't you tell? It's STRUGGLING to swim and needs to be hunted-down by some local fishermen and then sold to an aquarium at a shopping mall or 5-star resort... Sorry, did I say "hunted?"... I meant to say "Rescued" of course.
BTW, thanks for this heart-warming story, though :-)
In Oz a combination of laws and public opinion wouldn't allow the kind of 'rescue' they get away with here.
what a great shot you guys have from your balcony in Oz, it's panoramic. Very beautiful
Adriana, that's the main reason we bought the house. It's far enough back from the beach (600 metres) to avoid the weekend & holiday tourists but still gives us the view.
I'm looking forward to going back to it.
