About

The historic Davidson Whaling Station is located at Kiah Inlet on the shores of Twofold Bay, just a short drive from Ben Boyd National Park.

Take a guided tour to see the fascinating 1890s weatherboard homestead. See where the Davidson family took to the seas, assisted by a pack of killer whales. The skeleton of the pack’s leader, Old Tom, is today displayed at the Eden Killer Whale Museum.

You can see where the blubber was processed and learn about the whaling operation.

This is a fantastic site enriched by natural beauty and the preserved past. Make it your destination!

Museums & Galleries of NSW helps small-medium museums, galleries and Aboriginal cultural centres create exciting experiences for visitors and, through this, thriving local NSW communities. We don’t run museums, galleries and cultural centres but we care about those who do. We develop their skills, connect them with others in the industry, provide funding, point visitors their way, and give them access to ground-breaking exhibitions.

Museums & Galleries of NSW is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

Museums & Galleries of NSW acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation and all the other Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work.
We pay respect to them as First Nations people with continuing connection to land, place, waters and community.

Please note that all M&G NSW staff are working from home. Staff are still contactable via email and mobile.
