Eden- A port for whales. From a bloody whaling history to now a famed whale watching town, this place has come a long way.
Eden, as the name suggests is a place of abundant natural beauty. The town became synonymous with whaling in the 19 century with numerous whalers competing to make the largest catch of the season.
Ben Boyd tower (pic 1) originally planned as a lighthouse was abandoned for a better and taller one at Green cape a few miles away. The tower since then became the hot point to spot whales.
The Davidsons ran the whaling station (pic 2-4) from a sheltered cove in Kiah’s inlet, up until after the #ww1 and had a pod of killer whales that partnered with humans for the hunt. Old Tom (pic 5) and his pack of 6 were key to the capture of Baleen whales.
A highly risky and bloody operation the fat from the whale was boiled at the try works to extract the oil which was in high demand. From lighting to corsets to medicine and cosmetics the whales were completely decimated to provide for the human kind.
Today #australia is a anti whaling nation and if you are curious to know more or spot these giant creatures head out to the #southcoastnsw between June and November for the spectacular whale highway season.
Eden is about 600km from Sydney and is a fantastic #roadtrip both on its own or if you are driving down to #victoria ...

The far south coast of #nsw has an abundance of sights and experience to indulge in.
Known as the Sapphire Coast the area stretching from #batemansbay to #eden is home to #dreamtime stories, geological wonders and of course the whale highway.
The undersea volcanoes have resulted in beautiful carved natural sculptures along the #narooma coastline. #horseheadrock and glasshouse bay are both accessible at low tide. A unique ecosystem is created due to the same undersea activity at he #montagueisland off the coast.
Montague Island sits on the edge of the continental shelf and is home to migratory birds and colonies of seals. A towering lighthouse stands guard keeping the #maritime activities safe and going.
A 5 hour drive from #sydney this part of the world is beautiful. Destroyed at many places owing to the 2019 #bushfiresaustralia the locals and the forests are both recovering and are happy to welcome visitors. Take a trip and #discovernsw

I created this ☝🏼

Death in Colaba Bay, my debut novel, is an ode to the city of Bombay (Mumbai as we know it now).

But then, my story takes place when it was still called Bombay and trams were pulled by animals.

Let me take you to 19th century Bombay, to solve a crime in the city, where dreams are realised and nightmares are lived.

Sydney is known for its beautiful and deep harbour

Sydney is known for its beautiful and deep harbour. However, nestled in the heart of southern end of #bluemountains is a water body 4 times larger than the harbour. One of Sydney’s life systems and best kept secret, Warragamba Dam.
Built as part of nation building after the #ww2 men and women from around the world came to build one of the world’s biggest dams. It took 12 years to build this massive structure with turbines making the long journey from #southhampton to #sydney...
Lake Burragorang formed by the dam holds and supplies water to all us Sydneysiders and is a stunning sight to behold (pics 1-2).
The drought since 2013 led to the alarmingly low water levels and the dam usually known to flood had reached the end of its tether by the summer of 2020.
Of course we have been blessed with rains now and the dam and the lake are back to their shimmering capacity.
An hours drive south west of Sydney, the #warragamba area has an interesting history, heritage and beautiful lookouts... a perfect Saturday out and about knowing more about Sydney and surrounds....

Living in Sydney has it’s perks. Weekend #getaw

Living in Sydney has it’s perks. Weekend #getaway options are many, especially if not on a full #lockdown ...
We have visited Helensburgh in the #illawarra on numerous occasions but never imagined waterfalls and steep treks were right there, actually just behind the #helensburghtemple ...
Kelly’s creek flows in to the Hacking River that eventually flows out at #stanwelltops (last pic). This wooded area was an absolute delight.
A grade 3 trek, with no signs, that we attempted on a rainy cold afternoon. We did halfway down the slippery slope and decided to return as the weather seemed to be too unpredictable. Of course by the time we got back up, it was sunny 😎
Whatta view of the cerulean waters of #pacificocean at #stanwellpark it offered.
About 60km south of Sydney this was a recent and interesting find for those days when you want to stretch your legs but fear the company of one too many at the local park.
