Description: Whales Head, Tasmania in its heyday. The big building is Whales Head Hotel which was opened by Ted Cartledge and Fred Smith c.1908. In 1907 because of increased activity at Balfour and grazing land being taken up in the vicinity of Temma, a township was surveyed at Whales Head. It was to be named Strickland and the first seven allotments were offered for auction in Smithton but only five were sold. By 1908 the settlement had ten houses, two stores and the hotel. The name Strickland was never used and the town became known as Temma.
