The Current Site

Currently the Davidson Whaling Station is a historic site, it was made this by the National Parks and Wildlife Service in 1986. It covers an area of 27ha.

​

The cottage ‘Loch Garra’ which was built by George Davidson in 1896 and housed his family until 1945 is still standing and it gives us a look into the lives of a 19th century whaler.

​

The Davidson Whaling Station Historic Site is located about a 30 minute drive south of Eden, it is also only about a 10 minute drive from Ben Boyd National Park.

​

Entry into the Davidson Whaling Station Historic Site is free and is available all year round, tours are conducted during the Eden Whale Festival.

​

There are wooden paths leading down from the car park past the cottage and down to the Kiah Inlet on the shores of Twofold Bay.

​

There are signs around where the tryworks were located detailing the whaling stations operations. You can still see the remains of the whaling station.
