Whale World in Albany, Western Australia is well worth a visit to get an insight into the origins of the whaling industry at Cheynes Beach Whaling Station which closed in November 1978 which was the end of the whaling era in Albany.
The derelict whaling station was transformed to a heritage attraction taking a journey through Australia's last operating whaling station. The attraction includes a two story museum of real life photos from the whaling days, videos, whale skeletons and the cheynes IV whalechaser which we could walk through at our leisure to see how the men lived in those days. The guided tour was good with a guide taking us through the steps of the station production & explanations of the whales and the history of the whaling days.
There was of course the whalers gallery Cafe/Restaurant and mandatory gift shop. Another positive was the supply of a wheelchair for Anne to eliminate risk of falling on the uneven ground. This service is always appreciated so that semi disabled or injured tourists can still enjoy the day.
We enjoyed this attraction and think it is a well run business.
