The lovably janky museum showcases Eden's history and heritage. It has exhibits on whaling, fishing and timber working. Pride of place goes to the skeleton of orca (killer whale) "Old Tom", leader of the pod of orcas that cooperated with humans in hunting and killing whales. Old Tom's skeleton is apparently the only complete killer whale skeleton on display in the Southern Hemisphere.
Dating back to 1904 and beautifully restored in 2022, this grand old pub is undoubtedly the finest drinking hole in Eden. Lovely outdoor terrace with wood-fired pizzas and grills. Also offers classy accommodations.
The fishing town of Eden is at the northern head of the large (3,100 ha) Twofold Bay. Entrance depth into bay is 36 metres. Width of bay is 5 km wide. Bottom sand.6m.3m. VHF Channels 16, port working channel 8.
