Whale Nursery Warnambool [HD]

Between May and June, Southern Right Whales return to the southern coast of Australia (also New Zealand, South Africa and South America) to give birth, raise their young and commence the breeding cycle again. Of the many thousands of Southern Right Whales on the planet, a number arrive in the south west of Victoria and search out a quiet location close to the shore to give birth and apparently each female has her own favourite location. At Logans Beach, Warnambool a whale watching platform has been erected on the shoreline allowing great viewing of the females who consistently come back there each time they calve and hence it has become known as a whale nursery.

When the video was taken [July 2005] there were 2 mothers with their newly born calves at Logans Beach Whale Nursery.
