Seeing a whale is a very exciting thing!

I went this week to a Marine Center on Bondi Beach (located in the Bondi Beach pavilion).  On the way in, the girl who works there (whose name is also Rachel!) mentioned that last weekend was the Whale Festival on Bondi Beach.  We were wondering what was going on there!

Anyway, I know Rabbi Ben has seen whales off the coast when doing the Bondi to Bronte walk, but I haven’t had the luck yet.  I’m really hoping that next time I go to Bondi Beach I’ll see a whale! Apparently the humpback whales migrate past Sydney between April and December. If you’re lucky in the winter you may even glimpse a Southern Right Whale off the Bondi coast.

If you are visiting Bondi Beach, you can take a whale watching tour

Anyway, at the marine center they said that a few days ago they saw a mother and baby whale right off of Bondi Beach – apparently they were there all day! I’m disappointed I missed it but I hope next time I am walking in Bondi Beach I will spot one.

Good luck spotting whales off of Bondi Beach – I know it happens a lot!
