Welcome to the Australian Pelagic Home Page: A page dedicated to those with an interest in pelagic bird watching, photography and whale-watching. Offering some interesting information on what can be seen around oceans of Australia. Pelagic trips have been departing from a number of ports around Australia for many years now, providing a considerable amount of information on the birds and mammals likely to be encountered.

The Wollongong and Sydney trips are now world famous, although there are pelagics operating from other ports around Australia and New Zealand, for information on these take a look at the Pelagic Directory. Almost all of them are operated on a non profit basis and provide much valuable information about our little known seabirds. Why not join us on our next pelagic trip? Contact Tony Palliser or SOSSA for more information and start looking at some real birds.
 

 As the Western Field Ornithologists once said "going on pelagics is a wet, cold, miserable, nauseating, frustrating, exhausting, boring experience but somebody has to do it!"
