It's back to its beautiful best and ready to welcome visitors to this historic coastal town. 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. 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. The Sapphire Coast Marine Discovery Centre, located on Main Wharf, has displays of the local marine environment. It's a fantastic place to take children, with touch tanks and all sorts of interesting things. The Discovery Centre also run Rocky Rambles, Snorkel Tours and other activities during school holidays. Some sections of the area's spectacular National Parks were affected by bushfires, but hopefully by mid-March these areas will be re-opened. Check the National Parks and Wildlife Service website before heading out. www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/visit-a-park/parks/ VISITOR INFORMATION Mitchell Street, Eden Ph: 02 6496 1953
