George Bass and Mathew Flinders were the first Europeans to ‘discover’ Twofold Bay in 1798, but the region had been inhabited by members of the Yuin nation for thousands of years, attracted by the rich food resources offered by the sea and surrounding forests.
Local Aboriginal people had a strong spiritual connection with killer whales, and this connection extended to include the harvesting of small whales and fish that the killer whales herded into the shallows.
A permanent shore-based whaling station was first established by the Imlay Brothers in the 1830s, and whaling continued for another
century.
You can experience some of the town’s history at the Eden Killer Whale Museum, and see the skeleton of “Old Tom”, Eden’s famous killer whale. For a real taste of life in the whaling industry you can also visit Davidson’s Whaling Station, the longest operating shore-based whaling station in Australia, located on Kiah Inlet at Twofold Bay.
Eden is now famous as a destination for whale-watching, with migrations occurring in late autumn and spring.
Historic Boydtown, just a short drive south on the Princes Highway, was built by Ben Boyd in 1843 on the shores of Twofold Bay - the Seahorse Inn here has been beautifully restored.

A new photographic display at the Eden Killer Whale Museum will show how pets have been cherished on board ships as loyal travelling companions on many sea voyages.Little Shipmates: seafaring pets, an Australian National Maritime Museum travelling exhibition, features 22 photographs from the museum’s Sam Hood Collection. The images capture how much pets meant to many seafarers in a life where they were often far from their families for long periods of time.Photographs of cats, dogs, monkeys and birds on board ships clearly show their owners attachment.Sydney photographer Sam Hood took hundreds of photographs of crew members between 1900 and the 1950s as souvenirs for their visit or to send home to families. One photograph on display shows an English ship’s officer with his pet monkey, evidence of the many exotic ports seafarers visited during their voyages. Others show how cats and dogs became treasured members of the crew as in the Scottish steamer Strathgarry’s photo showing the ship’s company including the captain’s terrier and two cats.Sam Hood created an unparalleled record of Sydney’s maritime life from the 1890s to the 1950s, capturing
images of ships, crews, cargo handling, shipbuilding and launching, wartime scenes, pleasure boating and sailing through his lens. Little Shipmates – seafaring pets is open from 16 October - 23 January '11.The Eden Killer Whale Museum is open Monday to Saturday from 9.15am - 3.45 pm and Sundays 11.15am – 3.45pm.

The Pambula River floodplain was for thousands of years a source of food and materials for the Thaua people of the Yuin nation.Europeans first explored the region during George Bass's southern voyage of 1797. Seeking shelter from a gale, Bass travelled up the Pambula River, noting its beauty in his diary. A marker has been erected by the National Parks and Wildlife Service on this historic site.European settlement began in the 1830s, with the original township built on the southern banks of the Pambula River. Severe flooding in the 1860s meant the town had to be re-located to its present site on higher ground.Timber, maize, wattlebark, dairying and oyster farming formed the basis of the local economy in the late nineteenth century.However in 1888, gold was discovered on the banks of the Yowaka River, and by 1891 there were eleven mining companies in operation at the Mount
Gahan site.Pambula’s historic past is very much in evidence today, with beautifully restored and maintained historic buildings and farmhouses. Two of Pambula's famous houses still standing include Covington's, formerly owned by Syms Covington who travelled to Australia with Charles Darwin on the Beagle, and McKell's Cottage, where former NSW Governor William McKell was born. The building formerly known as 'Toad Hall' and the Pambula Courthouse are other examples of heritage buildings still very much in use today.The village has an eclectic mix of businesses, with art galleries, cafes, restaurants, gift shops and pubs.
At the southern end of the town is Panboola, a community-managed recreational area that is restoring parts of the floodplain and former race course.Just 5 minutes east of the village is
Pambula Beach with an excellent swimming beach patrolled by the Pambula Surf Life Saving Club, a dog friendly beach at Middle Beach and the beautiful Pambula Rivermouth.There are also walking tracks and viewing platforms.Pambula Lake is just south where there’s a boat ramp and oyster growers selling fresh Pambula Lake oysters.

Award-winning Broadwater OystersOysters, like wine & cheese, have a distinct flavour, depending on where they are grown. Pambula Lake oysters have a smooth, subtle flavour influenced by the water they are produced in.The clean, clear waters of the lake are a combination of fresh water moving down the Pambula and Yowaka rivers, and tidal exchange from the Pacific Ocean - perfect for the production of the finest Sydney Rock Oysters.Broadwater Oysters, on Pambula Lake, won a Gold Medal at the Royal Hobart Fine Food Awards in August 2009 for their locally grown oysters, following up on Silver Medals won in 2008.
With new signage making it easier to discover them (see photo right), you can visit Broadwater Oysters located on the Pambula Lake foreshore.Talk to farmers about oyster production and watch oysters being freshly opened – for local restaurants and the public to enjoy. Between Pambula and Eden, turn off the Princes Highway onto Landing Road and head down to he foreshore.Broadwater Oysters offer fresh award winning oysters to eat ‘natural’ by the lake, or to take home to enjoy at your leisure.

Twyford Hall, Merimbula 27 Nov-1st Dec 2010 9 - 5pm daily.
Kimberley Dodd Tony Sweeting Tricia Thompson For the first time, three local artists are bringing together a diverse range of works where each, in their own way, explore what it means to live in our region.Three Kinds of Country features the work of painter and graphic designer Kimberley Dodd of Towamba, painter, sculptor and printmaker Tony Sweeting of Rocky Hall and drawer, painter and printmaker Tricia Thompson of Myrtle Mountain.For Kimberley, this is a chance to showcase a new artistic direction. She is exhibiting brilliantly coloured still lifes which feature personal and treasured objects. From silk saris to sparkly old jewelry, a Chinese doll sprawled against a gramophone, the paintings give viewers a chance to look back through time. This is about the hidden story.Tony lives on a farm at Rocky Hall where the amazing views and forests provide inspiration for his work. “I have always been interested in nature, its form, symmetry and intricacies. It is these forms, represented in nature through caves, holes, slime, cobwebs and other wet, velvety surfaces that triggers the primal instinct in humans.”In 2000 Tricia moved to a forested property, which had no electricity but teemed with wildlife. It was situated within a sparsely inhabited, very supportive community. “Almost subconsciously I make connections between my intellectual and physical realities. These include my immediate and broader environment, reading, music and mythology, within the hurly-burly of a delightful life.”Three Kinds of Country runs from 27 November to 1 December from 9am - 5pm at Twyford Hall, Merimbula. The exhibition is being opened by local artist/writer/curator, Megan Bottari from 5pm on Sat 27th November.

Merimbula brings in NYE with a bang!Ford Park will again be the centre of Merimbula's NYE celebrations in 2010.The day’s events kick off with markets in the morning featuring the best in local food, crafts and interesting stalls. From around midday, live music takes centre stage with entertainment provided by local up-and-coming bands, school bands and various musical acts. There will also be rides and amusements for all the family, providing a great opportunity to bring the kids and a picnic blanket and enjoy some free entertainment. As the day turns to dusk the entertainment will be turned up a
notch when a great line up of talented professional musicians hits the stage. The headline act on the night is country music sensation “The Pigs". Not your typical country music band, The Pigs combine their onstage personas and witty antics with a unique blend of country, rockabilly and pop. The family fireworks will grace the sky around 9.30pm, followed by a local DJ to get the young ones in the mood. The grand finale with more fireworks at midnight will bring in the New Year. A full schedule of events will be available in the Merimbula News Weekly in the weeks prior to the event.

Bega is the business and administrative heart of the Bega Valley. It is also a place of natural beauty, surrounded by lush pastures and forests hugging the escarpment.Views of Mumbulla Mountain to the north and the escarpment to the west are best appreciated from the Lookout, located just 5 kilometres north of town on the Princes Highway. In the language of local Aboriginal people, members of the Yuin nation, Bega is said to mean “large camping ground”; it would have been a
place of great abundance, with an underground lake feeding a series of wetlands, providing plenty of tucker.The dairy industry has always played a major part in the Bega economy, and this is still the case today, with the Bega Cheese Co-op one of Australia’s leading manufacturers of dairy products. A visit to the Bega Cheese Heritage Centre is a must for anyone new to the region; housed in a reproduction of one of the first buildings on the site, the Heritage Centre has a wonderful display of cheese and butter-making equipment from the 1900s, and provides an insight into how early farmers lived, worked and transported their products. Bega has a thriving arts community with its own Regional Gallery, which hosts several major exhibitions each year, as well as the artist-run Spiral Gallery.

Bangles GalleryPottery has been around for thousands of years, both for decorative and functional purposes. The Greeks and the Romans have left a rich heritage of this ancient craft. The word ‘ceramic’ itself comes from the Greek ‘keramikos’ from ‘Keramos’ meaning potter’s clay. Carrying on this age-old craft, and providing a platform for over 15 contemporary Australian Potters, Bangles Gallery, in the heart of Cobargo, offers an extensive selection including both modern and traditional pots for every purpose under the sun. Also featured are locally made leadlight lamps which can be personalized to suit required colours.Feel the sensual curves of shapes crafted by human hands, or watch resident potter, Der, demonstrate his craft. You might just catch the tinkle of finely tuned chimes catching the breeze, or find that special “unique” gift you’ve been searching for.Bangles, Princes Highway, Cobargo. Phone 6493 6421.

The Montreal Goldfield is a Heritage Site that lies 7km north of Bermagui on the Wallaga Lake Road. It is a relatively intact remnant of the gold rush days of the early 1880s, and is unique in that it is the only goldfield in Australia located beside the sea.A section of the original goldfield has been preserved, but for safety reasons, you can only enter the Gold-field as part of a tour. This however provides a wonderful opportunity to

In 2010 Bodalla celebrated the 150th anniversary of Thomas Mort's purchase of 13,000 acres of land at Bodalla and the beginning of the Bodalla Estate. Mort became a pioneer of the Australian dairying industry, and many of the dairy farms he established still operate today.
The magnificent All Saints Church, constructed from granite quarried on Bodalla Estate, was dedicated by the Mort family to Thomas Mort’s memory, with the foundation stone laid two years after he died in 1880. All Saints is open each day for visitors, and it's worth a stop just to see the stained glass windows.
Bodalla today is a bustling village with its historical roots still present; make sure you visit the businesses mentioned below as you explore this picturesque village.

What to See & Do Step back in time and pan for gold
at the Gold Rush Colony
Go mountain-biking on the trails in nearby State Forests
Take a stroll around town and explore the interesting shops
The township of Mogo was born when gold was discovered in the early 1850s at Cabbage Tree Creek. Estimates of the number of diggers who converged on the town range from a conservative 200 to an unlikely 20,000.
To experience what the town was like during the boom, a visit to the Original Gold Rush Colony is a must.
Mogo is now famous for its great range of specialty stores, housed in replica nineteenth century timber buildings.
There are potteries, galleries, antique stores, bookshop and coffee shops, many of which specialise in unusual and interesting items. Mogo is the perfect place to spend time browsing for something a little bit different.
Also in Mogo is the internationally recognised Mogo Zoo. Providing world standard facilities for over 200 animals of more than 39 rare and exotic species, Mogo Zoo is committed to the survival of endangered species, including the rare white lions of ‘Timbavati’.

Mogo Orchid & Fern Nursery
Specialising in cold climate Australian native orchids, the Mogo Orchid & Fern Nursery has everything for the orchid lover and more. Housed in a large greenhouse are plants of varying ages, from 1 year old plants in 50mm tube pots to a display plant which is between 35 and 40 years old.
Owner Karen Ruiz also has a large range of orchids mounted on tree-fern backs and cork, and different varieties of locally grown ferns. She has orchids that flower throughout the year, and new stock arrives on a weekly basis.
Orchids make a fantastic gift as they beat cut flowers hands down; an orchid flower can last for several months, not several days! The Nursery stocks potting mixture and accessories for the orchid lover, locally made outdoor furniture, native animals houses, designer pots and wall décor.
The undercover display area has wheelchair access and there’s plenty of car parking available. Open 7 days. 14 Charles Street, Mogo. Ph 4474 2291

With summer with us you've probably thought how nice it would be to have some lovely shade trees to cool the garden from the hot summer sun.
As trees mature they create another growing area where many shade-loving plants will survive, thus creating another special part of your garden.
The use of deciduous shade trees in a garden is not only beneficial in decreasing our demand for electricity for cooling but also allows the sun to
warm the building in winter, therefore decreasing the need to have heaters running continually.
In selecting the tree for your particular need, several considerations should be made.
The most important consideration undoubtedly is the eventual size of the tree. The tree should be planted at least one and a half times the mature radius of the tree from buildings, thus decreasing the risk of damage
Nature’s Umbrellato the building from larger roots and reducing the risk of damage to the building should a branch fall.
Evergreen varieties should be used further from the home to provide all-around wind protection for the garden.
Consideration also must be made as to your climatic zone and what trees will perform best in that area. It is totally useless to attempt to grow trees in an area that not is suited to the plant.
If in doubt ask the qualified staff in your nursery or make a visit to your local botanic gardens or visit open gardens that have used large trees.
While in Tilba have a look at Foxglove Spires Gardens where the use of shade trees has been used to maximum benefit.

Clyde River, Batemans Bay © Paul Callaghan
www.farsouthcoastimag.com.au
Like many coastal towns, Batemans Bay, settled by Europeans in the 1820s, relied on timber, ship building, dairying and fishing as its main source of income in the earlier centuries.
The town is accessed from the north by its famous lifting span bridge, the oldest of its type in Australia.
Now a thriving regional centre and major tourist destination, people come to Batemans Bay from all over Australia for its natural beauty.
Swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, surfing and diving are all within easy reach of town. Batemans Bay has a fantastic 27 hole championship golf
course, and there are plenty of other courses within easy driving distance.
The Bay is famous for its Clyde River oysters, and there are plenty of cafes, restaurants, clubs and hotels offering local seafood on the menu.
