Eden & Two Fold Bay you have been splendid … arrived into Two Fold bay on Tuesday after passing Gabo Island and being graced with Dolphins seemingly enjoying the wake of the bow of Nora J. Eden was a gorgeous little town founded in a history of Whaling – a skill already well established in the First Australians – the Thaua People of the Yuin Nation who were well respected (and it is said, equally paid) because of their whaling skill and ability to ‘collaborate’ with Orca whales (whom they believed held the spirits of their ancestors), to round up and trap humpback whales. The last Orca of this kind was legendary ‘Old Tom’ who died in 1930 and the museum in his honour and, home to his skeleton, was opened in 1931, just after the cessation of whaling. Fascinating. Thankyou Eden.
