At the end of the 1970s, one young reporter bears witness to the final days of
Australia's 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 action-packed history of a town reliant on whaling dollars
pitted against a determined band of protesters.
