Why do Mothers Bring their calves into places such as Sydney Harbour, Shellharbour, Jervis Bay, and Batemans Bay
Every spring, humpback whale mothers guide their newborn calves into the calm, sheltered waters of our bays and Harbours. After the long journey from the warm birthing grounds, these mothers seek a safe haven before continuing south to Antarctica.
Places such as Sydney Harbour, Jervis Bay, Shellharbour and Batemans Bay provide the perfect nursery:
- Protection from ocean swells and predators – the bay’s natural headlands create calm seas where calves can rest.
- A place to learn and grow – mothers use this time to teach calves essential whale behaviours like breaching, tail slapping, and diving.
- Energy and nourishment – in these quiet waters, calves can build strength, suckle, and prepare for the next stage of their migration.
For us, it means unforgettable encounters — watching a young whale take its first playful leaps beside its mother in some of the most precious marine environments on the east coast of Australia.
