Humpbacks resting and laying back

Seemed to be a rest day for the Humpback whales in the beautiful waters of Moreton Bay, with 8 spotted for the day. Individual Humpback whales spend 2 months migrating from Antarctica to tropical Queensland, which can be up to a 16,000km round trip. We see all different behaviours from them which sometimes includes resting.A Green sea turtle was also spotted on the cruise.
