Eden, Australia

We arrived in Eden at 8am this morning. Eden is an old whaling town established in 1828.

Our bus tour took us to different parts of the island and to Merimbula and Pambula. Both towns were "low-key".

Merimbula was named by the aborigines, and means "two lakes" as it lies between two lakes! Not lots to see but little personality-less retail shops.

We ended up at the Killer Whaler Museum, which I found a little "disquieting." Today, the museum is now all about whale conservation. (Yay!)Read more
