A Website is a living organic process and we will constantly evolve the site.

Your thoughts will help guide us in that process.

This overview provides you with a content summary of the major sections of the site and has a selection of whale and dolphin images to whet your appetite. (Watch for the 'Click to Enlarge' opportunities)

There are links to let you move straight to pages that may catch your attention. For ease of navigation we have placed the 'GO TO' Index at the foot of each page.

This is an image rich site and, like the whales, you will need patience for its full enjoyment.

The Oceania Project has been organising an Annual Whale Research Expedition in Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia. The Expedition is a platform for a long-term Research Program on the ecology and behaviour of the Humpback Whales visiting Hervey Bay.

By joining the Expedition as an Intern you can support and assist with the ongoing research, learn about Cetacea and create your own direct experience with the Whales and Dolphins we encounter.

This section provides information about Whale Research Expedition, how you can join and whats involved. Use this link if you would like Expedition Information emailed to you.

The Expedition Journal lets you share the experiences of people who have joined past Expeditions.

These pages provide information about the Youth Project, what involvement offers and how you, or someone you know, can become a participant.

Let us know if you would like information about The Oceania Youth Project emailed to you.

Check out the Kingscliff High School Enviro Club involvement in the Expedition and also Kids On The Ocean (KOTO) 95 to see how the Northern Rivers Community is involved in The Oceania Youth Project and the Expedition

Meet Robert Bennington from Oregon. Robert joined us for two weeks in 1996. Read what he wrote in the Expedition Journal

This photo was taken using a
Kodak Digital Camera-more about that in the journal too!

We will introduce you to individual Whales - Ropey,  Venus & Cupid,  Slaphappy and Gregono - for example, and share with you the experiences we are having with those Whales and what we are learning about them.

Watch the films of encounters with individual Humpback Whale Icons and gain insight into their daily lives.

The Oceania Project's research work involves photographing and filming the Humpback Whales and Dolphins and recording their songs and sounds. These images and sounds enable us to share these experiences with you and your friends around the world.

iWhales is The Oceania Project's shop-front for conservation and education oriented DVDS, CDs, films, photography, songs, sounds, documentaries and more.
