Eden is a large whaling town in the South Coast region of New South Wales,
Australia. The town, 478 kilometres south of the state capital Sydney near the
border with Victoria, is located between Nullica Bay to the south and Calle
Calle Bay, the northern reach of Twofold Bay and built on undulating land
adjacent to a deep harbour, Snug Cove, on its western boundary.
Eden Rock Baths
The eastern coastline has rugged cliffs at the southern end and a wide, sandy
surf beach, Aslings Beach, north of the cliffs. The beach ends at the entrance
to Lake Curalo, a safe boating inlet of Twofold Bay. Although the urban
settlement of Eden commenced in 1843 the settlement was not officially
proclaimed as a township until 20 March 1885. The town’s main industries include
fishing, forestry, and tourism.
