Overview
Once a whaling station, Twofold Bay is the southernmost port of New South Wales, serving the local towns of Eden, Merimbula and Boydtown, and the snowy Cooma region. The area is a popular holiday spot for Victorians, with fishing being the main attraction. The area is quiet but steeped in history and has a natural rustic charm.
