"Since the beginning of recorded history whales have always held an extraordinary magnetism for humans. Now, for a particular subspecies fo Minke Whale, which visits Queensland's north coast each year, humans seem to have become just as magnetically interesting. Apart from offering tourists the surreal and often life-changing experience fo coming face-to-face with a cetacean, the peculiar mutual fascination that these dwarf minkes have with humans if providing a world-first opportunity for underwater reasearch, writes Viarnne Mischon."
