Whales take well deserved rest on long journey home
After a busy weekend of non-stop breaching, the Humpback whales seemed to be having a rest day today.
Australia's largest dedicated whale watching vessel, the Tangalooma Jet, spent most of the cruise with a pod of 3 curious juveniles, that were heading south for their return trip to Antarctica. Humpback whales that are heading south are in their second half of their great migration; after spending roughly around a month without feeding, they're keen to head to the colder waters where they can find some krill to feed on.
A total of 5 whales were spotted on today's whale watching day cruise from Brisbane.
