We cruised from Sydney all night, seas were a little rough (a hint of things to come perhaps). In the morning we arrived in Eden, Australia which is about 300 miles south of Sydney. Eden did not having docking accomodations so we had to take a tender service in from the ship to shore. Once on land, we loaded up on a bus and did a tour along the coast - it was beautiful and picturesque. We ended the day tour at the local Fishermen's Wharf, then it was back to the ship and on to our next adventure!

| View from Rotary Lookout. Per our guide, back in the day lookouts would be posted here watching for whales. When alerted, whaling boat crews would row out to try to intercept them! |
Too early in the season for whales but fun to think about... :) |
