Eden and Ben Boyd National Park 1st - 8th December

Eden Ocean Baths

Happy Birthday Jimmy for the 6th
Beautiful Eden - a gorgeous little seaside town set on the shores of pristine beaches and surrounded by Ben Boyd National Park.  The rugged coastline is striking with colourful displays of folded red rocks that contrast against the sapphire blue ocean. 

Crown and Anchor Historic B & B



We really enjoyed having a rest here after our time in Kosciuszko National Park. Such a pretty town steeped in history mainly because of its protected harbour and early whaling activities an plenty of scenic walks. 




Snug Cove

 The wharves are busy with fishermen bringing in their catch to be shipped off to Sydney and Melbourne. Had the best fish and chips at the take away down by the wharf and enjoyed reading, walking and just lazing about.    

Lake Curalo


The lake walk is abundant with bird life lots of superb fairy wrens, and black swans - very peaceful.  Also a great little community art co-operative run by local artists - really worth a look and the local tourist info centre is one of the best i've seen.

Mackillop Hall 

 


Mary Mackillop established a school in Eden as a thank you for the care provided when her mother drowned in the Ly-ee-moon shipwreck in 1886.

Ben Boyd protects 10,709 ha. of coastland and the lighthouse to lighthouse walking track from Boyds tower to Green cape Light station passes through 30km of spectacular scenery.
