Discovery Bay Tourism Experience

Discovery Bay near Albany is a truly unique attraction, home to Australia's last operating whaling station, a stunning Botanic Garden of Australian plants and a display offering visitors a close up experience with friendly Australian Wildlife. You can choose to explore Australia's whaling history, or the gardens and wildlife, or the entire site to make a real day of it! Pack a picnic or barbecue lunch and spend a day discovering all you need to know about the Great Southern region. Situated at the tip of the Flinders Peninsula, the heritage-listed "Whale World" site has undergone dramatic change since 2004 to maximise its location and become a showcase for the region's amazing natural biodiversity while still remaining true to the original whaling history display. Whaling Station guided tours are included with admission, while informative displays are provided to enjoy the gardens and wildlife at your own pace. An absolute must-see attraction while in Albany!
