Only two hours north of Sydney, Port Stephens provides a fantastic combination of relaxation, wildlife and nature based activities, ideal for visitors wanting a truly unique costal adventure. Attractions include relaxing bushwalks, fishing, surfing and even bird watching.
For those also interested in exploring Australia’s historical and cultural links to the sea, the Aboriginal and whaling heritage sites around Eden are a must. Whether visitors are walking or cycling there are great picnic spots from which migrating whales can be viewed.
Whale Watching Sydney has already made a spectacular sighting this season reporting a close encounter with the incredibly rare white humpback whale Migaloo who was first photographed in 1991 passing Byron Bay. Whale Watching Sydney offers cruises from two hours up to half a day on their custom built vessels. Cruises begin with Sydney Harbour’s iconic sights before heading out to the Pacific Ocean to witness the largest mass migration of Humpback Whales in the world.
For those more interested in an air conditioned whale experience, the Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM) in Sydney has two exciting new international whale exhibitions never before seen in Australia; Amazing Whales from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris; and Beautiful Whale showcasing an exhibition of life-size whale photography by American artist Bryant Austin.
People are also encouraged to join the ANMM online conversation and share images from this season through #whaleseason on social media @ANMMuseum.
