Acclaimed wildlife scientist Vanessa Pirotta has been mugged by whales, touched by a baby whale and covered in whale snot. In Humpback Highway, Pirotta dives beneath the surface to reveal the mysterious world of humpback whales – from their life cycle and the challenges humans present, to why whale snot and poo are important for us and the ocean. Plus the cutting-edge new technologies that allow us to see where they swim, listen to them talk and spy on them underwater.

Whether you’re a whale lover or you’re simply curious about the underwater world, Humpback Highway will inspire and give you a new respect for these majestic, marine giants.

We have a FANTASTIC prize to giveway!! To celebrate the launch of Humpback Highway, Vanessa and our friends at NewSouth Books have organised for a very lucky winner and their friend to go on a three-hour cruise with Go Whale Watching, and be accompanied by Vanessa herself! The tour is booked for Saturday, 15th June at 8:30am.
