EDEN - POPULATION: 3,006

WEDNESDAY 23 – THURSDAY 24.11.2011: Stayed at Discovery Caravan Park, Eden which backs onto Twofold Bay. This provided Madison with yet another opportunity to run on the beach off lead “with the wind through her ears”! Eden is a seaside holiday township set on the shores of Twofold Bay, surrounded by Ben Boyd National Park. Began our sightseeing at “The Pinnacles”, which is a natural cliffs formation of multi-coloured sands and clay located on the edge of Terrace Beach.

TERMITE HILL!
SNUG COVE, EDEN
Next stop – Snug Cove, this is where three wharves unite. It is the hub for vessels to call into when entering the waters of Twofold Bay – one of the deepest natural harbours in the world. Quick stop at Calle Calle Beach.
Finally a visit to “The Seahorse Inn” located south of Eden at Boydtown. The inn was built by Benjamin Boyd in 1843 using convict labour and named after his steamship. Brick cottages, a wool store, salting down works and church were part of Boyd’s grand style empire on the shores of Twofold Bay until 1849.
