We spent our last full day in NSW looking further around Eden and a visit to Eden’s famous Killer Whale Museum, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Eden is situated on Twofold Bay, one of the deepest ports in the world and one of the reasons whaling was big here in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. An amazing fact re the whaling here in Eden was the fact the Killer Whales worked with the Whalers. The Killers only wanted the tongues and lips of the whales nothing else and they corralled the whales into Twofold Bay into the waiting arms of the Whalers. This went on for decades and “Old Tom” was the most famous leader of the Killer Whale Packs and when he died in 1930 the following season none of the Killers returned and basically whaling finished after that in Eden. There are too many stories to tell about the Killer Whales in Eden on this blog but if your interested I suggest you visit the museum’s website.

Eden has some great coastline and beaches and the fresh seafood was great as well. We only wished the weather was a bit warmer so we could go swimming, 22/23 is to cool for me to swim, although we did enjoy our beach walks despite the wind. We really enjoyed Eden and look forward to coming back again sometime.
