Who's excited to go whale watching?
Hi Wellington,
Have you spotted a whale on your seaside walk? Because it looks like they're back! This time, a southern right whale and her calf have been spotted in the Wellington Harbour. Click here to read more!
DOC said it was the type of whale known to frequent beach areas and head into shallow water. But luckily, they don't strand.
Are you a fan of the whales visiting our city? And will you head down the harbour to see them? Share your thoughts in the replies! 🐳🐳

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
