It has all been a bit back to front this morning," says Coast XP's marine ecologist, Jane McPhee-Frew, as we near the end of our whale watching tour out of Newcastle harbour.
After an exciting start, during which we spend 20 minutes in the company of at least five large humpbacks, not far outside the harbour, we have been chasing sploshes for over an hour now, heading as far south as Redhead Bluff, hoping for more whale action.
