October 2023 Disney Wonder, began a new ✨️ itinerary from Australia 🇦🇺 😀 sailing ⛵️ out of Sydney to Auckland, Brisbane and Melbourne.

Come here many times to see the fishing boats 🚢 😀 all the boats owned by the Family's of Eden.
Eden harbour has Whale watching and Fish 🐟 characters.
Whale 🐋 Watching 👀 Cruise on Cat Balou Cruise 🛳 😎, to see 👀 humpback 🐋 southern right Whale 🐋, during their migration season 😀 from May to November.
Freedom Charter operates from Eden Harbour provides a range of fishing experiences 👌, their experience 😀 crew aims to ensure a memorable 😀 day on the sea 🌊 😀.

History of Eden; local Aboriginal people who lived in the region prior to the arrival of Europeans were the Thaua, or Thawa, people of the Yuin nation.

Whaling ships 🚢 had been operating in the area in 1791.
In September 1797 of that year, on a subsequent voyage with Matthew Flinders, surveyed the bay for the first time. They also made first contact with the local Thawa Aboriginal people on this occasion.

Botanist, Allan Cunningham (13 July 1791 - 27 June 1839), landed at Snug Cove in December 1817 so that he could collect Botanist specimens from the district.

First Whaling station 🚉, for shore Whaling, was established in the area by John Raine in 1828.
Yuin Aboriginal employed on the boat crews refused to kill orcas, and a new policy encouraged collaboration between whalers and the killer whales; killer whales would trap humpback 🐋 whales that enerded Twolfold Bay, the whales would then be harpooned, and the orcas rewarded with prize pieces of the humpback 🐋 carcasses.

Eventually the area for the proposed town, to be called Eden (George Eden, 1st Earl of Auckland, 25 August 1784 - 1 January 1849), was surveyed in 1842 by Mr Thomas Townsend, the Government Surveyor.

Because Eden is equidistant between Sydney and both Melbourne and Tasmania, the port town was considered as a location for the Australian Capital following Australian Federation in 1901. However, the 'Limestone Plains ' in southern New South Wales were chosen instead as the location of the new city of Canberra.

Population of Eden is 3,151 ( 2016 census).
Location; 478 km (297 mi) S of Sydney, 555 km (173 mi) ENE of Melbourne, 278 km (173 mi) SE of Canberra, 54 km (34 mi) S of Bega and 275 km (171 mi) ENE of Bairnsdale.

About 6am made a photos 📸 of the risk of the sun 🌞 in the morning 🌄.
Than I looked at the photos and seen the cruise 🛳 coming in to the Eden port, say WOW."
