Whale watching in Australia
Whale watching in Australia is a popular recreational pursuit and a tourist activity along various coasts. In 2008, whale and dolphin watching was worth an estimated 31 million in direct expenditure to the Australian economy with an estimated 1.6 million tourists participating in the activity. Whaling in Australia took place from 1788 to 1978 and was once commercially successful. The Australian Whale Sanctuary was established in 1999 to protect dolphins and whales from hunting. Humpback whales are the most common species seen in the waters surrounding Australia while Southern right whales, Minke whales and Blue whales are also seen.
Whale watchers are restricted to approaches as close as 300 m in order to protect the animals.
== West coast ==
In Western Australia, whales are watched near Cape Naturaliste in the south-east Indian Ocean and at Cape Leeuwin where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet. Whale watching cruises operate along the west coast around Perth and Fremantle and as far north as Broome.
