    Beautiful scenery along the Sapphire Coast of Australia as we made stops at three small towns.

    Merimbula: known for Oyster Farms in the Bay (under the watchful eye of pelicans).

    Pambula: fun local vacation spot. Enjoyed lunch at great local Bakery called Wild Ryes. (Delicious Flaky Thai Chicken Curry Pie and Turkish Vegetable Sandwich!!!!! ). Susan loved checking out the local antique store. Beautiful wall murals, too.

    Eden: Whaling Industry town for more than a century. We went to the Killer Whale Museum and heard the story of "Old Tom", the Orca Whale that helped the local Whalers by herding the larger whales in the bay. The Orca was given the whale tongue and meat while the whalers got the oil, ivory, and tallow. The story goes that once Old Tom died, the town's whaling industry died as well.
