Eden Whale Festival
The last whale, hunted for commercial purposes was a sperm whale, harpooned on 20 November 1978, off the coast of Western Australian. Eden NSW was the hub of commercial whaling for over 150 years.
Today, instead of slaughtering these beautiful creatures, we celebrate their migration with ones of the world’s best whale watching festivals.

And of course whales are the main attraction. They can be seen in large numbers in the town’s stunning Twofold Bay, whether you are in a boat or, indeed, just from the shore.
The Eden Whale Festival is an annual event, highlighting the southern migration of the humpback and other whales.
