I have witnessed how these precious giants of the sea are growing extinct by the minute.
About Whales:
Humpbacks
The Humpbacks are by far the most common whales to be found in Australian waters. It is believed that as many as 100,000 existed before white settlement and the commencement of whaling in Australia. By the time whaling ceased in Australian waters in 1962, only 200 were left. The present population has built up from those 200 humpback whales to an estimated 3000 making the annual migration to north-eastern Australian waters this year. They are the fifth largest whale to be found.
