Charming fishing towns such as Batemans Bay punctuate your onward journey to Tilba Tilba, a former gold rush town settled in the 19th century.
Stop in at the former whaling town of Eden, where the Eden Killer Whale Museum tells the story of orcas who, in exchange for food, would help herd ill-fated baleen whales into Twofold Bay. The skeleton of one of these orcas, ‘Old Tom’ is displayed in the museum today. Further along the coast, Metung is a lakeside town with plenty of water-related activities on offer, including fishing, boating and swimming.
