Greetings from the big blue, Not too long ago, spotting a humpback whale off the Sydney coast would have been a rare and extraordinary occurrence. Today, it’s an annual event spanning six months, something we look forward to every winter as these ocean giants breach, blow and slap their way along the east coast of Australia. It’s one of the most powerful conservation stories in Australia’s history, but first we have to go back 200 years to a darker chapter in the whale story.
