The Davidson Whaling Station Site
Australia
The Davidson Whaling Station Historic Site whispers the dark tales of Australia’s maritime past. Established in April 1986 as a 27-hectare tribute to a bygone era, this landmark lies near Beowa National Park, on the tranquil yet storied shores of the Kiah Inlet at Twofold Bay. Once the beating heart of Australia's longest-running shore-based whaling operation, Davidson Whaling Station stood as a testament to human endurance and industry—until the last of its kind fell silent. Today, its preserved remains invite you to step into the gritty lives of 19th-century whalers, where the clash of harpoons and the cries of whales once echoed across the bay. A visit here isn’t just a walk through history; it’s a journey into a world of peril, survival, and the complex relationship between humans and the sea. Feel the weight of the past as you stand where men toiled and triumphed in the harshest conditions, leaving an indelible mark on the shores of Twofold Bay.

More About Australia

There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.
