Whale Watching Season Under Way

Whale watching tour operators in the Hunter are expecting a bumper season.

The annual whale watching season has kicked off, with the National Parks and Wildlife Service expecting 24-thousand Humpbacks to migrate north past Newcastle's coastline.

Peter Hanrahan from Nova cruises says with whale numbers increasing by up to 15 per cent every year, spotting them is becoming even easier.
