As of today, in season, building toward peak (~July 1). Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each austral winter, southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) migrate into the sheltered bays and lee of the Great Australian Bight to calve and nurse calves.
The Head of the Bight lookout offers one of the most reliably close shore-based viewing opportunities for cows and calves in southern Australia.
