Eden

This is just a quick posting to say that I had a passing visit to the town called Eden, and I don't like it.

It is an old whaling town. And instead of being sorry for it, they seem to be proud of it -- at least that's the initial impression I got. They just recently built a memorial for the seamen who lost their lives out on the sea. They have a "killer whale museum", but no memorial for the whales who lost their lives through this biggest-sea-mammal-hunting-and-slaughtering business. To me, the term "whaling" itself is outrageous. Does anyone call elephant hunting "elephanting"?

So I hurried on to Merimbula, which I knew I liked. It was good to see it again (McD there too!) and I spent one night and the morning, then drove on.
