The Australian Whaling Industry is little mentioned in our folklore, but strong industry existed around the north Queensland coast. We explore the Whaling Industry with ex-whaler Harry Robertson and sing his vivid songs of the period..

The songs included in the program are:

Heave Away (Harry Robertson) - Declan sings and plays guitar
Prison Gang (H. Robertson) - Declan sings and plays guitar
Whale Chasing Men (Harry Robertson) - Declan sings and plays guitar
Grubby Jack - Spoken Harry Robertson.
Norfolk Whalers - Harry sings and plays guitar
Queensland Whalers - Harry sings and plays guitar. Declan sings chorus.
Ballina Whalers - Declan sings and plays guitar.
