At the end of the 1970s, one young reporter bears witness to the final days of Australias whaling industry. Thirty years after the last whale was captured and slaughtered in Australia, this incisive account tells the very human story of the characters and events that brought whaling to an end. This fair and balanced account portrays the raw adventure of going to sea, the perils of being a whaler, and the commitment that leads activists to throw themselves into the path of an explosive harpoon. Accompanied by a wonderful photographic record of the time, this is the actionpacked history of a town reliant on whaling dollars pitted against a determined band of protesters.
