In this episode, Neil Oliver heads offshore. He's on the trail of a most majestic marine creature: the mighty Orca. Neil also examines the notion that the Anzac spirit was forged, not on the beaches of Gallipoli, but in the port of Albany. Brendan Moar explores the night that the Skylab fell to earth in Esperance in 1979. Marine ecologist Emma Johnston investigates the now politically incorrect industry of whaling in the Western Australian town of Albany. Please note this title contains potentially offensive language as well as historical footage of harpooning whales during the whaling period in Australia. Part of the "Coast Australia" series.
