Pictures Of Whales And Whale Watching

Looking For Big Pictures Of Whales?

Are you ready for lots of BIG pictures of whales?

If so, you are in the right place!  These photos of whales are of the humpbacks you see off the east coast of Australia during the annual winter migration to the breeding grounds.

The photos are generally bigger than I would use on a website - because I think bigger is better in this case. So it may it take a bit longer to load.

I feel that trade off is worth it - I hope you do too!

The photos were taken from whale watching tours from the Gold Coast.

I will be adding more pictures of whales from different parts of the whale watching season.

Enjoy these whale photos....
