Near Albany, right down the bottom of the West Coast is Whale World. This sounded like an interesting place to visit and learn about Whales, their habitat and which whales can be seen where. WRONG. It turns out that this place was the last Whaling station in Oz and this was the place that once the Whales had been caught, were chopped up into little pieces, stuck in an oven and oil then extracted. Not the kind of Whale world we were expecting!
Saying that, it was quite interesting and did provide a different perspective on the subject. They also heavily promoted saving the whales and conservation, which was great.....apart from one of these conservation videos was shown in one of the old ovens they used to cook the whales pieces.
