Your Shortcut to… Australia’s Humpback Highways

Thousands of giant humpback whales are on the move right now along Australia’s coastline… travelling one of the longest migrations of any mammal on Earth. In this Squiz Kids Shortcut, Christie and Bryce head out onto the ocean to explore the incredible “Humpback Highway”, the giant whale migration routes that run along both the east and west coasts of Australia.

Along the way, they uncover where humpback whales travel each year, why mums migrate thousands of kilometres to give birth in warmer waters, and how industrial whaling nearly wiped humpbacks out forever.

Fasten your life jacket, grab your binoculars, and join us on one of nature’s greatest journeys.
