Interesting piece of history displayed at an old whale processing center also has a small Australian wildlife enclosure and old whaling ship. ⁸

Sarah_H, Nov 2025

This is a really interesting place, not for the faint of heart but it's a huge part of the history of the area. Also, I couldn't make it on the day I had booked for and they were very accommodating, allowed me use the ticket days later.

Great place to visit and learn

Jane_J, Jun 2025

Great place to visit learning a lot about the early days. So much to see. It is a pity the day wasn’t so wet and windy because we would have stayed a lot longer. Well worth the visit

Response from Host, Jun 2025
