Eden is the gateway to the beautiful Far South Coast from Victoria, and the township made it through last summer's bushfires unscathed. Like many of our coastal and hinterland towns, it hasn't recorded any cases of COVID19, and is back to its beautiful best and ready to welcome visitors. Experience Eden's history and see the skeleton of “Old Tom”, Eden’s famous killer whale, at the Eden Killer Whale Museum. 'Old Tom' was a crucial part of the most extraordinary collaboration between humans and killer whales ever witnessed on earth. The Museum has a wonderful collection of artefacts from days gone by - book a tour to get the most from a visit. Eden is one of the few places in the world where Humpback Whales feed on their migratory route, and with many other whale species travelling close to shore, it's the perfect place to go whale-watching. Book a cruise or head to the nearest headland or beach between September to November. Each year, there are more and more whales visiting; this year there were several 'mega-pods' - almost 100 whales were spotted feeding from Tathra to Eden - a truly spectacular sight. Local Aboriginal people (members of the Yuin nation) had a strong connection with killer whales, and this included the harvesting of small whales and fish that killer whales herded into the shallows. Head down to the Wharf to see the fishing boats and other vessels tied up alongside the dock. Some sections of the area's spectacular National Parks were affected by bushfires this summer. The Light to Light walk is open again, but check the National Parks and Wildlife Service website before heading out. www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/visit-a-park/parks/
