About EDEN

Eden is an idyllic town situated on the far south coast close to the Victorian border. This beautiful area is surrounded by national parks and woodland. The Thawa Aboriginal people probably lived in the area prior to European settlement. The beautiful bay has a whaling history. The first whales were killed around 1791 and the town became famous for its killer whales which hunted other whales in packs. George Bass travelled south down the NSW coast in 1797 and named what is now known as Twofold Bay, originally called Snug Bay as it offered security for ships. John Raine was the first white settler on establishment of a shore whaling station in 1828. The whaling industry finished in the late 1920s.

The town was laid out in 1843 and named after Baron Auckland, the British Secretary for the Colonies. In the early 1900s timber became an important income source for the town due to demand for railway sleepers. Wattlebark, dairying and brick making were the main sources of income in the early days of European settlement.

The town is now a fishing port and a popular holiday destination. There are numerous National Parks in the area offering bushwalkers a variety of the flora and fauna which can be found in the south coast. Swimming, diving, camping, boating, canoeing and fishing are all attractions for the visitor, as well as the whale-watching season with its peak time being during October and November.
