Another couple of hours down the coast was the town of Eden however we couldn't resist spending the morning at Narooma and waiting until the anticipated storm arrived in late afternoon before heading down to our next destination. Eden has been built up around whaling industry of the early 17th century and we chose it because the guidebook listed it as the nicest coastal village in the south.
