title = "Three whaling station sites on the west coast of South Australia - Fowlers Bay, Sleaford Bay and Streaky Bay",
abstract = "Historical documentary and/or archaeological evidence of a number of whaling stations on the South Australian coast and off-shore islands has been previously recorded. One of the problems with some of this work has been the failure to recognise that shore-based whaling activity in South Australia before 1850 consisted of two quite distinct types. The first type were those based in and associated with the official settlement of South Australia. The second, and far less well known or documented, type were the activities of some, apparently mainly, Hobart-based whalers in a number of whaling stations on the far west coast of South Australia. This paper discusses the results of recent historical research and archaeological survey work on the Hobart-based whaling stations at Fowlers Bay, Streaky Bay and Sleaford Bay, the last of which was probably first a Hobart-based and then later one of the Adelaide-based whaling stations.",
