A Website is a living organic process
and we will constantly evolve the site. |
We welcome you to The Oceania Project Website and thank you for visiting. 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.

(Click to Enlarge) | Since 1989, The Oceania Project has been studying, photographing, filming and recording the Humpback Whales that visit Hervey Bay each year. This information is providing new insights into the behaviour and social organisation of the Humpback Whales and how they are using Hervey Bay.
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.

| During the many years we were undertaking the Annual Whale Research Expeditions to Hervey Bay we were privileged to experience and witness many remarkable encounters with the Humpback Whales and Dolphins.
The Oceania Project's research work involved photographing and filming the Humpback Whales and Dolphins and recording their songs and sounds. These images and sounds have enable us to share those 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. iWhales is a portal to the Whales and Dolphins of Hervey Bay.
