Ginger and Ed's Excellent Adventures

From our high point in the Snowy Mountains we dropped back down through Cooma to the Saphire Coast at the idyllic town of Eden. Appropriately named, the small.town is on a particularly beautiful stretch of coastline.

Eden is also home to the Killer Whale Museum. The history of whaling in this area goes far back into history. The aboriginal people used to hunt whales in Twofold Bay, and they had help. An orca pod and the people developed a symbiotic relationship.

The orca would.herd other whales into the bay for the people to hunt. In exchange the hunters gave the orca the lips and tongue. This continued on when the whites employed aboriginal hunters to bring in whales.

We spent several days exploring the area and walking a few tracks. The water here is so clear, the white sand and shallow depth give it the famously beautiful color.

There was also a sculpture garden with some interesting pieces on display.

And we.had fun with photos…
