We also went for a good walk around the rocks and the whale lookouts which was good fun.
We had a great day in Eden.

Eden whale museum
Today we went to the Eden killer whale museum. The story about Tom and the other killer whales was very fascinating. The killer whales would round up whales and then alert the whalers that the whale was there. The whalers followed the killer whales to their target. The killer whales did it to earn the lips, mouth and tongue of the whale that no one needed. The whalers cut the blubber off the whales and boiled it to make whale oil. The museum was built in honour of 'Old Tom'. .

Weather must be ok, Robbie still dressed for summer. Might think of me when you look at old Tom, I feel a bit like him, have you arranged for your minor repair? TB
