There's a traffic jam on the great whale highway that runs parallel to Sydney's coastline as around 30,000 humpback whales are migrating north to head for warmer waters before returning between September and November with their newborn calves.
It's peak time now and thousands of people have visited Cape Solander at Kurnell since the annual migration season started early last month.
Some have seen whales up close to the Tabaggi cliffs, while others have had to settle for a distant view through binoculars - it's all about luck, there is no timetable.
Cape Solander, in Kamay Botany Bay National Park, is one of the most accessible vantage points to see the annual migration and if you're lucky the passing Humpbacks will put on a display.
Volunteer Wayne Reynolds, who has a background in volunteer whale rescue, has been sitting on the cliffs and observing the whales for more than 20 years, said whale watching can be a bit of a lottery.
"Cape Solander is a great focal point for the community to see whales, but you never know what you will get," Mr Reynolds said
The whale distance regulations for boaters is to stay at least 300 metres from a whale with its calf and 50 metres away from adult dolphins.
