The event is growing bigger each year, and with 2 full-time volunteers, we need all of the help we can muster. Yell out if you can lend a hand and help us save our whale friends.
For thousands of years the majestic Humpback Whale has been visiting the Fraser Coast Region on it's annual migration. Finally, after years of whaling, we are now starting to see an increase in the population of humpbacks travelling the east coast of Australia. Now, more than ever, we need to protect them. National Whale Day is a day to recognise the threats these amazing creatures still face including whaling, climate change, fishing entanglement and ship strikes.
