About This Journey
Follow the southern coast whale road
Southern Ocean Encounters — Victor Harbor, Encounter Bay, Port Elliot, Goolwa — Southern Fleurieu, South Australia.
From the brutal whaling era that first drew Europeans to these waters, through dramatic wildlife and wild coastline, to the Indigenous connection to this country, and finally to the meeting of Australia’s greatest river with the Southern Ocean. An arc from exploitation to wonder, from harpoons to hope.
Each location peels back a layer: The Hunt → The Station → The Crossing → The Wild Edge → The Harbour Table → The Quiet Shore → The Port → The Meeting of Waters.
