Eden hosted the Whale Festival again this year during the first weekend in November. Most of the main street procession featured wheeled vehicles, our vintage cars from Pambula Historic Vehicle Club and Britek V8 super cars - better known as 'hot rods'.
Also featured in the street parade were 'Bob the Builder' of ABC fame, the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club Pipe Band and the Sapphire Coast Concert Band.
Trucks in all shapes and sizes employed for every purpose in the area, honked and tooted their way to Snug Cove where displays and market stalls had been set up in a carnival atmosphere. Here could be seen the POG Circus Performers, a cooking display, the Irish Dancers and several groups of local musical talent. Thirty vintage HSVC cars were also on display.
Waiting patiently outside the pub in the main street, were four beautifully groomed Clydesdale horses harnessed to the Carlton Draught historical beer barrel delivery waggon.
