Gold Coast Whale Watching Australia Questions and AnswersGold Coast Australia Whale Watching VideoHere is a raw video that I took whilst on an August whale watching cruise off Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. August is mid season, so you can see some whales still going north, whilst others are returning south and if you are lucky mothers with calves. It was my first video with my still camera - so I apologise for how raw it is, but I thought it worth sharing as it really gives a sense of what it was like just hanging out there with the humpback whales, drifting in the ocean 9 miles off Surfers Paradise beach!
