FROM VoB KWIMABB: Byron Bay’s Gory Past Shown in Historic Video

  • Post category:Byron Bay

Voice of Byron and KWIMABB regular, Robert Dooley, found this incredible old historical video featuring Byron Bay’s whaling industry. CONTENT MAY CAUSE DISTRESS TO SOME VIEWERS.

Bob says, “There was also a black and white Cinesound newsreel version kicking around as well.”

“I think Tom Buchan might have had the 35 mm version, but do not know what happened to it as I have lost track of his family.”

CAUTION: Content may cause distress to some viewers.

    Great to see as I remember being taken to see Byron whaling station as a child. I hope those noises aren’t the whales in distress. I don’t recall hearing but may have forgotten?
