This breathtaking panoramic artwork captures the majestic essence of Australia's Tweed Coast by freezing in time the incredible annual migration of humpback whales as they pass the iconic shores of Cabarita Beach.

The Tweed Coast's Crown Jewel: Cabarita Beach
Our scene is set at the award-winning Cabarita Beach, the undeniable jewel of the Tweed Coast. In 2020, this stunning stretch of coastline was officially named Australia's Best Beach, celebrated for its perfect, north-facing arc of brilliant white sand and clear, turquoise waters. The panoramic view is captured from the famed Norries Headland, a rocky outcrop that provides the premier land-based vantage point on this stretch of coast. As a National Surfing Reserve, Cabarita is renowned for its consistent, world-class waves that wrap around the headland, attracting surfers from across the globe. The area is also a sanctuary for a critically endangered littoral rainforest, making it a biodiversity hotspot where the ocean meets the forest.
Witnessing the "Humpback Highway"
Each year, from June through November, the Pacific waters off Cabarita Beach transform into a bustling marine thoroughfare known as the "Humpback Highway." This is the epic migration route for the east Australian humpback whale population, one of the world's most remarkable conservation success stories. From an estimated low of just a few hundred individuals in the 1960s, the population has rebounded to over 30,000. This panoramic print captures their triumphant journey. During the peak season of July and August, these magnificent cetaceans are a common sight, frequently breaching, tail-slapping, and spy-hopping just off the shoreline, thrilling whale watchers gathered at the Norries Headland boardwalk.
