On webpages it is hard to use really big photos of whales as it makes the whole page slow to load. This page has some of the bigger pictures for you to enjoy the detail. 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!
