Twofold Bay

Located in the picturesque South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, Twofold Bay is an open oceanic embayment that offers unparalleled natural beauty.

The bay gets its name from the shape of two bights, with Calle Calle Bay in the northern bight and Nullica Bay in the southern.

Twofold Bay lies near the town of Eden and is approximately 40 km (25 mi) north of the border between Victoria and New South Wales. The bay covers a catchment area of 11 sq km (4.2 sq mi) and has a volume of 334,559 megalitres (11,814.8×10^6 cu ft) over a surface area of 30.7 sq km (11.9 sq mi), with a depth of approximately 10.9 m (36 ft) on average. This reputedly makes the bay the third deepest natural harbour in the Southern Hemisphere. The bay is fed from the Nullica River, with the Towamba River also flowing into Nullica Bay. One of the most conspicuous islets in the bay is Mewstone Rock, located close to North Head. The Port of Eden and Eden itself are both located in the bay, with the historical town of Boydtown situated to the west of the bay on Boydtown Beach, which stretches south from the mouth of the Nullica River. The bay is also one of twelve coastal aggregation areas for Southern Right whales in Australia.

Twofold Bay has a rich history, most notably around the days of the whaling industry. The "Killers of Eden" were a group of killer whales who, in the 1800s, helped a team of whalers
