The Sea Shepherd's flagship Steve Irwin is due to leave Brisbane the first week of October for a grand tour around Australia, calling in the ports of Sydney, Hobart, and Fremantle.
With preparations for the upcoming Antarctic campaign well underway, this tour gives Sea Shepherd the opportunity to open up to the public and thank Australians for their incredible support since 2005. During its stay in each port, the vessel will be open for tours, from 10am to 5pm daily, providing a chance to have a look around the ship as well as learn first-hand from the crew what it is like to live and work on the most active and effective conservation enforcement vessel in the world. Tours are accessible for all ages and last, on average, about 40 minutes.
The crew of the Steve Irwin welcomes you aboard!
Port dates:
Melbourne - October 23-29 at berth no 3 at North Wharf Rd
Sydney – October 5-12 at Circular Quay
Hobart – October 16-22 at Macquarie Wharf
Fremantle – November 4 to December 7 at C Berth in Fremantle Port
Sea Shepherd will be returning to the Southern Ocean in December for the 6th Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign Operation Waltzing Matilda, with the aim of intercepting and silencing the harpoons of the pirate whalers.
The Sea Shepherd crew will never retreat from the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary until the word "sanctuary" is understood and honored once and for all.
