This morning, we enjoy the incredible coastal scenery of Australia’s Wilderness Coast and Beowa National Park aboard our cruise around beautiful Twofold Bay. Highlights of the cruise will include Boyds Tower, whaling station sites, the naval/multipurpose wharf. We may even see dolphins, seals and penguins. Back on dry land, we head to Boydtown where we enjoy lunch at the Seahorse Inn. Rounding out the day, is a visit to Killer Whale Museum where we view the skeleton of “Old Tom” the killer whale, plus many other items of interest and history.

Touring the coastal road via Tura Beach we stop to see Tathra. The focal point of Tathra is the Old Steamer Wharf, now classified by the National Trust as the only remining restored steamer wharf on Australia’s coastline. It has changed roles in recent years but is still an important feature and many locals set themselves up here for a day’s fishing. We follow the coast up to the picturesque village of Bermagui where we stop for lunch at Bermagui Country Club. Next, we venture to the Montreal Goldfield, where in 1880 gold was discovered here. The rush barely lasted from 1880-1883 but nearly 250kg of gold was unearthed using only a pick and shovel.

In Bega, we visit the Bega Cheese Heritage Centre. The centre is a faithfully reproduction of the original ‘creamery’ building constructed in 1899. At the centre you can sample and purchase a selection of delicious Bega Cheese along with a great range of souvenirs, farm themed giftware, local jams and honey. Located amongst the rolling country hills overlooking Corunna Lake is our lunch venue, Tilba Valley Winery & Ale House. Taste the fantastic wines and enjoy the views over a lovely ploughman’s platter. Step back in time as we explore the quaint villages of Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba. We’ll feel like we’ve been transported to another era, full of colourful old-world shops nestled amongst a lush, green landscape. We return to Eden after a wonderful day.
