Driving in Eden, ex-whaling town that's remote and beautiful

Come on a drive though Eden, a small ex-whaling town on the south eastern extremity of the Australian state of New South Wales.

The town has a beautiful naval aesthetic, complimented by the stunning blue surrounding waters. It was even once seriously considered to be Australia's capital city.

Today the town has a booming tourism industry, whaling ceased in the 1930s and now the town prospers from avid whale watchers visiting to see the humpback whales migrate.

In addition the town has a thriving sawmilling, fishing and naval industry.

Please give me your thoughts in the comments. I've personally wanted to go to Eden for a long time.
