Fun day to welcome the whales

Increasing numbers of humpback whales will be seen off our shores in coming weeks

Ocean lovers are invited to attend the inaugural Love the Ocean Whale welcome event at North Avoca Surf Life Saving Club on Sunday, May 4, from 10am-1pm.

Friends of Kurrawyba spokesperson Izabela Sajdok said the free event was a way to celebrate the approach of the whales’ winter northern migration.

“It’s an opportunity for everyone who loves the ocean to come along, meet like-minded people and hear some great speakers,” she said.

“Our guest speakers will include RonnyLing – well known for his love of and knowledge of the humpback whales migrating along the east coast in record numbers.

“Ali Beikzadeh is well known for his environmental activism including the need to permanently remove shark nets from our beaches.

“Sarah Han-de-Beaux will join us to share stories about her wonderful underwater adventures, photography and activism.

“We will also have an array of community groups participating with market and information stalls about everything related to loving the ocean from seabird and turtle rescue, through to plastic pollution and everything in between.”

There will also be a coffee cart, face painting and loads of fun for everyone available on the day.
