Davidson Whaling Station, Heritage whaling station in Beowa National Park, New South Wales.
Davidson Whaling Station sits on the shores of Kiah Inlet, featuring a weatherboard homestead and remnants of historical whaling equipment near Eden.
The Davidson family established their whaling operations in 1860, constructing the Loch Garra cottage in 1896 and continuing operations until the last whale capture in 1929.
The station demonstrates the relationship between European whalers and Aboriginal communities, with archaeological evidence of indigenous middens throughout the property.
Visitors can access the site via Edrom Road from the Princes Highway, with gravel parking areas and basic facilities including non-flush toilets and picnic tables.
The station operated through a partnership with killer whales who helped corner baleen whales, with the skeleton of their leader Old Tom displayed at Eden Museum.
