Killers of Eden – Tom Mead (Paperback, True Story of Killer Whales at Twofold Ba

One of Australia’s most remarkable true stories — the partnership between killer whales and whalers at Eden, on the NSW South Coast. Killers of Eden by Tom Mead recounts the extraordinary events at Twofold Bay, where orcas helped human whalers hunt baleen whales during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Richly detailed and based on historical records, this is one of the most enduring maritime legends in Australian history, centred around the famous orca “Old Tom.”
