The article also mentions the expertise of Karen McGhee, the Editor of Australian Geographic magazine, and provides a map and photos of the region. [Extracted from the article]

The article offers travel tips for Australia's south coast and includes recommendations such as visiting Kangaroo Island; attending a shipboard tasting session; and swimming beside cruising rays at Hamelin Bay.

The article offers the author's insights on the lives of the blue whales in Australia. Topics discussed include the Centre for Whales Research (CWR), which is committed to study and conserve whales, the discovery of herds of feeding whales in Antarctic waters by captain James Cook in January 1773, and the pygmy blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) is found around Australia.

Adult blue whales are massive; they can reach 30m in length and have a tongue weighing as much as an elephant. Cape Nelson, and nearby Cape Bridgewater, are among the few places globally where you can spy blue whales from land. During summer, hit the cliff -top lookouts along the Great South West Walk around Portland for a chance to spot these graceful giants, which arrive to benefit from the seasonal Bonney Upwelling and abundant krill.
