You can't go to Albany and not visit the Whaling Station. It only ceased operation in November 1978, not that long ago. Top right photo shows the whale oil storage tanks. It took 70 or so whales to fill each tank. They now use these tanks as cinemas so that you can see the history of whaling.
The skeleten of the whale we are standing next to is 30 metres long, and it was supposed to be a small one!
