A Sandy Beach Almanac



You've landed at Sandy Beach, NSW, Australia: Lat. -30.15331, Long. 153.19960, UT +10:00 – local map & zoom Google map. I live in a cabin on this beach, 25 kilometres north of the traffic and shops of Coffs Harbour, 600 km north of Sydney. My intention is to post observations of Nature and life within 1 km (1,000 paces) of my South Pacific home.

Whales passing through

"In Australia, the northern migratory route of the humpback whale is farther offshore than its southern route, so while whales may be spotted from land on their journey north, the chances of seeing them are higher on their return trip to the Antarctic."
Whale Migration: From the Antarctic to Australia

I caught just a quick glimpse of a whale yesterday, on its annual wintertime northward migration, and hope to have a bit more to say about this tomorrow.
