Whales

 Point Ann, which is just 30 km from Quaalup Homestead Wilderness Retreat, is one of the two places in Australia ( the other being Head of the Bight in South Australia), where Southern Right Whales come to calve in large numbers in the calm waters of the beautiful bay of Point Ann and Trigelow Beach ( just 10 km from Quaalup). 

 Each year during July to beginning of November they can be seen from the shore or the viewing platforms, sometimes just a few metres off the beach. 

There have been sightings of up to 40 whales on some days.  It is an unforgettable experience to see the whales, especially the playful young ones, so close. 

Another visitor is the Humpback Whale, with increasing numbers in the last years. Even a Blue Whale has been sighted in 2004.

Sea Lions and Dolphins can often be seen with a bit of luck all along the coast of the Fitzgerald River National Park.

 

October 2006 5 Sperm whales beached themselves at Doubtful Island Beach

They were 9.7 to 12.5 meters long, weighing between 15 and 25 tonnes
