This oral recording project documents a history of the Coffs Harbour Pet Porpoise Pool through to new management when it became the Dolphin Marine Magic and now Dolphin Marine Conservation Park. The Pet Porpoise Pool was opened in 1972 by Hec Goodall, with a board made up of business associates from Victoria and Coffs Harbour. From its earliest years the Pickering brothers Greg, Spencer and Robert came onboard as the dolphin and seal trainers and in maintenance positions. 

This is interview #1 in the oral history project.
