Fishery Bay whaling station was a whaling station located in the Colony of South Australia on the coast of Fishery Bay, a subsidiary of the larger Sleaford Bay, on Eyre Peninsula about 32 kilometres (20 mi) south-west of Port Lincoln.[2] It operated in the 1830s and 1840s and helped to provide the colony with one of its first export commodities.
