Tuesday, August 28, 2007, marks the thirtieth anniversary of the first direct action in Australian by Greenpeace.
The action started on a Sunday at the gates of the last whaling station in the English-speaking world at Albany, Western Australia.
Canadian Bob Hunter, Greenpeace co-founder and its first president, flew the Greenpeace banner against the Cheynes Beach Whaling Company.
The following weeks saw two Zodiac used to follow the whale chaser ships up to 30 nautical miles to the continental shelf. The activists ran interference, zig zagging in front of the ships to spoil the harpooner's aim.
In the Zodiacs using themselves as human shields between the harpoons and sperm whales: Australians Jonny Lewis, Tom Barber and Allan Simmons; Frenchman Jean-Paul Fortom-Gouin; Bob Hunter.
Greenpeace is having a reunion of the original 1977 protesters in September 2007 and is staging an exhibition of photographs, 30 Years of Inspiring Action, at CarriageWorks in Sydney.

Japanese whale fishing is completely lawful.
And is completely scientific.
In addition, it is a Japanese gastronomic culture to eat whales.
You should refrain from the act of denying the culture of another country.
watch this video.
