Whale season returns to Redlands Coast Redlands Coast is once again welcoming some very special visitors... majestic humpback whales on their annual migration. From June to November, up to 40,000 whales will travel along Australia’s east coast, passing by North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah). The island offers some of the best vantage points to witness this awe-inspiring spectacle. Whether it’s a solo breach or a pod gliding gracefully through the water, there’s something truly magical about spotting whales from this stunning coastal paradise.
