Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

Hi all. Here is the latest update just a short one before we head to the hills for the freezing cold tomorrow. Yesterday we ventured to see the the Killer Whale museum. It was very interesting to learn about the old whaling days that was a main stay of the district in the early days of Australian Settlement down here in Eden. Turns out the the local aboriginal and whale hunters were both assisted by Killer Whales to hunt and kill whales. They worked together to heard up a whale so the killer whales could get the best part of the whale to eat. Given to them by the whale hunters were the lips and tongue. Old Tom Skeleton Old Tom's tooth  Old Tom was a legend here and so after he passed away they created a museum on the killer whales behalf. The killer whales would actually come in the bay to notify the hunters that they had a whale in their sights. Fur Seal skeleton Whales were used for their oil, meat, cartilage, perfume additives and other bits. ...

Hi lovelies On Saturday we left Kalaru and headed a whole 45km to Eden. Our park is on a lovely sheltered bay.  Not a bad view.  Robbie is going to try some fishing soon, and it is lovely to sit and hear the bell birds. Sunday we went off for a drive to check out the Quarrantine Bay   Lookout point, And Snug Cove wharf.        We were wondering why there we so many tugs in the harbour, and discovered that they are building an extension to the wharf to allow for cruise ships to dock in Eden. It was then back home for lunch and time to grab and book and have a rest in the sun. In the afternoon we went for a bit of a walk along the beach. Today we headed to Ben Boyd National Park.   Our first stop was Green Cape Lighthouse.   You are able to rent out the old keepers accommodations   Today is the first day we had have any of the wind that has been forecast east coast. ...
