Eden

eden-boatsThe coastal town of Eden is a fantastic place to start a visit to the Far South Coast region, with beautiful Twofold Bay and the surrounding mountains providing spectacular backdrops to the town.
George Bass and Mathew Flinders were the first Europeans to ‘discover’ Twofold Bay in 1798, but the region had been inhabitated by members of the Yuin nation for thousands of years, attracted by the rich food resources offered by the sea and surrouding forests. Local Aboriginal people had a strong spiritual connection with killer whales, and this connection extended to include the harvesting of small whales and fish that the killer whales herded into the shallows.This history of collaboration between killer whales and eden-boatshumans was the subject of the documentary “Killers Of Eden”, screened on ABC TV in 2006.
eden-whale-museumA permanent shore-based whaling station was first established by the Imlay Brothers in the 1830s, and whaling continued on for a century. You can experience some of the town’s history at the Eden Killer Whale Museum, and see the skeleton of “Old Tom”, Eden’s famous killer whale. For a real taste of life in the whaling industry you can also visit Davidson’s Whaling Station, the longest-operating shore-based whaling station in Australia, located on Kiah Inlet at Twofold Bay.
Eden is now famous as a destination for whale-watching, with migrations occurning in late autumn and spring. To celebrate the significance of whales to the township, Eden holds a Whale Festival in October or November each year.
Eden is a wonderful base to explore the surrounding areas, with National Parks and State Forests all within easy reach. It is increasingly popular as a destination for small luxury cruise ships that berth at the multi-purpose wharf over summer. There are beautiful beaches, coastal rivers and fish waiting to be caught, and lots of cafes, shops and galleries in town to help visitors unwind and enjoy this coastal paradise.
