Located on the shores of the Kiah Inlet of Twofold Bay, the Davidson Whaling Station was the longest-operating shore-based whaling station in Australia and the last of its type to close down. Protected today as an historic site, the station gives a unique insight into the lives and industry of the 19th Century whalers. The station was in operation from the late 1860s to the 1920s. The area is located 35 kilometres south-east of Eden along Edrom Road. It is currently owned by the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the local NPWS contact is Merrimbula on (02) 6495 5000.
