When you hear the word 'mugging' the most positive of thoughts don't seem to spring to mind - unless you're going whale watching, in which case you'd want nothing more than to get mugged - by a whale.
Imagine a whale sidling up to your boat, rolling over and looking you straight in the eye, or being so close that you feel as though you could virtually reach out and touch them - this is known as a 'mugging' - a general term used to describe a friendly or inquisitive whale that approaches a vessel and swims around it.
Using the east coast of Australia as a migration corridor between their breeding grounds in northeast Queensland and their feeding grounds in the Southern Ocean, the season of migration typically lasts from April until November, as they head north in June and July, choosing to head south in the spring.
