Whale season: Every winter South Australia enjoys the return of Southern Right whales to its shores. The first arrivals in Encounter Bay are usually expected in mid-May, and are eagerly awaited by whale watchers who hope to catch a glimpse of the huge beasts from atop the cliffs and headlands of the area’s stunning coastline. The whales can usually be seen through to October. A group of dedicated and passionate Whale Spotters in Victor Harbor, together with staff from the South Australian Museum and South Australian Whale Centre take and catalogue photographs of Southern Right Whales in order to identify individuals and track Southern Right Whale movements and migration patterns.
