ABOUT
Recounts the rise and operation of the Tangalooma Whaling Station on Moreton Island, charting its brief but intense post war period of activity.
ones describes the crews, the chasers, and the demanding routines of hunting and processing humpbacks at a time when commercial whaling was nearing its end in Australian waters.
The book blends technical detail with human perspective, capturing the harsh conditions, the camaraderie of the workers, and the growing public unease that ultimately helped close the station. It stands as both an industrial history and a snapshot of a controversial era now firmly consigned to the past.
Includes monochrome illustrations and map.
