About the event
Join South Coast author John Robertson as he takes you on an historic journey back to the early colonial times when sealing was the first industry in Australia. It was a time when displaced people were forcibly transported half a world away, only to displace others in a strange land. Learn about Albany’s early sealing industry and its transition into bay whaling along our local coastlines, meeting some of the unsavoury whaling characters of the early European colony along the way.
