Get up close to migrating whales
We have installed two sets of whale watching binoculars on the Vaucluse cliffs, just in time for whale migration season.
They are free to use and are located at Jacobs Ladder and the south end of Christison Park, and can be used to get a closer look at the migrating whales as well as our diverse birdlife.
The binoculars are accompanied by comprehensive signage to provide more information about humpback whales and their migration patterns. Enjoy!
Christison Park is home to a set of new binoculars
