Tangalooma has a long history with humpback whales. Back in the fifties it was the largest shore base whaling station in the southern hemisphere. After ten years of whaling the population of whales had dropped to a few hundred, but the animals have been protected since the mid-1960s. Now the population is in the tens of thousands.
