Today’s adventure was a break from driving very far, a place called Eden looked like a good place to stop. With a population of 3,000 there wasn’t much to do or see, there was however a very nice beach.
I don’t think I need to add any more…
The beach at Eden
Flowers beside Eden beach
Now this is a catch!
We left to make a move towards Sydney to give our last day a short drive and arrived at Batehams Bay. Population 16,000 this place is a bit bigger then Eden and we arrived by a fishing area for the night. Whilst I was completely unsuccessful at fishing, the guys next to me lost a very large creature (almost 2M long) and managed to catch a sting ray and small shark (seen to the right), kudos to them!

Vinay – that’s actually the shark. Stingrays have thinner ‘stingers’ for a tail. It’s a very weird shark though. The flash from the camera really showed it’s nice colours. The stingray he caught was grey.
Marta – It was these guys 2nd day here too, they done well!
Beautiful pictures! (except the shark-stingray)
Ughhh – That is exactly why I am afraid of beaches!

Thanks Abbie :-)
Aimee – This was not actually on a beach, but a fishing area around a town. There are some dangerous things about though!
Oooh, Eden! I remember visiting the killer whale museum there – must have been 10 years ago. Still there, I wonder?
I don’t remember seeing any Killer Whale Musuem there unfortunately, but that sounds pretty awesome!

Wow! Nice catch big fish I love it so amazing. It feel like your in the Eden of garden.Very relaxing place ,you can find peace and temporary forget your problem.Hope I can go there…. Thanks for your inspiring pictures
Katie – Yes I thought the Eden name was adept and well suited. The Shark was impressive and I didn’t notice the colour until the flash from the camera brought it out.
whoa.. that’s a huge stringray!

Can you eat it?

I don’t see why not, it’s a catch in a public place where fishing is allowed.
Don’t like shark myself though, never tried stingray mind!

So that’s what I wanted to know – is taste good. Never tasted it either.
I tried shark in Malaysia, it tastes like it looks – big, grey, and from the sea.
Although the shark in the picture is a bit more colourful so maybe it doesn’t taste so grey.
