Australian Towns & Cities
New South Wales: Eden
Incorporating photos and Information from Michael Greenslade's former Australian Towns, Cities and Highways site

Eden began as a whaling station in the 1930s, but now primarily exists as a deep water fishing port and New South Wales' southern most tourist centre. It lies on the Princes Highway and on the north shore of Twofold Bay. The killer whale museum (and lighthouse) are worth visiting, and is the Rotary lookout, south of the town - the lookout is literally on the cliff face, and overlooks the whole of Twofold Bay. Nearby Boydtown was founded in the mid 1840's and was an unsuccessful metropolis, laid out by Ben Boyd. It has been restored as a tourist attraction and also hosts a caravan park.
