On 28 May 2018 Port Gregory resident Mr Greg Horsman reported to the WA Museum that storms and large swells had exposed historical materials on the beachfront at Pakington Whaling Station site, one kilometre north of Port Gregory. Significantly, whaling-related artefacts had become exposed, along with stonework from an intact wall on the beach and fore-dune not previously archaeologically recorded by Gibbs (1995) or Anderson and Rodrigues (2003)
