It is also home to the highest coastal sand dune in the world (Mount Tempest, 285 metres) which offers breathtaking 360 degree views from it’s peak.

Tangalooma, Queensland
Tangalooma whaling station operated from 1952 until 1962, during which period it harvested and processed 6277 humpback whales.Whaling took place when the humpback whales migrated along the coast in winter, in an eight- to ten-week season during which the processing factory ran 24 hours a day.
The operation was at first very successful, employing a crew of about 140 people, but, in its final years, a collapse in catch levels made it uneconomic to continue.
When the station began whaling, the population of eastern Australian humpbacks was estimated at 10,000; when it ended, the number of whales had been reduced to an estimated 500.
In 1963 the hunting of humpbacks was banned in Australian waters; since then the population has been recovering. Following the closure of the station, it was sold for resort development
