[blog] The Last Whale

This blog is about the war for the whales, the first battle in 1977 and 1978. The campaign changed Australia from a pro-whaling nation to an international advocate for the whales. It also saw the formation of Greenpeace in Australia.

Hi:

This is my blog. It's about the 1977 campaign in Australia which saw the closure of Australia's last whaling station in 1978 following a widespread community action campaign.

I worked at the local newspaper at the time and I've gone back to interview all those involved: the protesters; and the whalers.

Interestingly, Canadian Bob Hunter (a co founder of Greenpeace) lead the direct action campaign at Albany, Western Asutralia. Today his daughter, Emily, is on board the MY Robert Hunter in the campaign to stop Japanese whaling.

regards
