Hey guys.... Joyce here... just going to let you guys know a bit more aabout what happened during the times of Whaling in Australia!!!!


During the times of Whaling in Australia, about 10,000 Humpbacks were harpooned and killed. Then their blubber was boiled down to make oil that would be turned into soap, leather and cosmetics. The whale oil was also used in making candle wax, perfume and used in oil lamps as fuel. They used the whalebone(baleen) as whips, corset stays and collar stiffeners. Whaling in Australia has stopped now and will hopefully never happen again. :)
