Ever wondered how we get the outline of the Human Whale pegged out to perfection every year? 🐳

We would like to say a massive thank you to Mark , Andrew and the incredible team at North Point Surveys Pty Ltd, who come out every year to help organisers form the outline along the beautiful shores of Fingal Bay.

This is what we love about event's like the Human Whale, it's locals supporting locals 🙏💙
