South Australia Whale Centre, Victor Harbor

This three-level public center, in the middle of Victor Harbor, exhibits educational and informative displays of dolphins, sea-lions and whales. A separate theatrette screens locally shot videos of these mammals. Local history exhibits describe the region's extinct whaling industry-not that this has deterred Southern Right whales from visiting Encounter Bay on their northbound journeys! The whales' seasonal visits are celebrated by the center, which will happily inform you about the species, their habits and arrivals in the region. The center sells books, posters, soft-toys and other souvenirs.
