As part of a school tour from Leonora in 1978, we visited the Cheynes Beach station before it closed. Most of us were too traumatised to do a full tour. Plus, the stench (especially below ground in the boiler areas) was just incredible. The view of these whales being dragged up the ramp and sliced apart -- right in front of us -- still remains vivid. My understanding is that it was the last station in the Southern Hemisphere (not just Australia) to close. I can't be absolutely positive. -- mulgamutt

"A poor whaling season in 1916 meant that by the start of World War I, the company had closed down." - World War I commenced in 1914, is this date correct, or does the author mean by the end of World War I?

Thanks. The date is correct - I reworded it slightly so it makes a bit more sense now. -- I@n 11:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
