The Combienbar Valley/Club Terrace/Errinundra National Park
​
Errinundra National Park offers tranquil walks and scenic drives. It preserves the largest remaining stand of cool temperate rainforest in Victoria as well as ancient tall, wet eucalypt forests. The majority of the park is accessible only in the drier months. In winter, rain and snow generally make the unsealed roads impassable.
​
Things to do:
​
- Enjoy a walk through the heart of the rainforest at Errinundra Saddle
- Enjoy superb views from Mount Morris, Ellery View and Ocean View Lookout.
- Admire ancient forests of plum pine and the granite tours of Goonmirk Rocks.
- Explore a range of walking tracks for a closer view of the forest giants.
​
Please be mindful that before you visit these areas, conditions can change in parks for many reasons.

Boydtown/Eden/Merimbula/Pambula/Candelo
​
For a comfortable and scenic drive from Bemm River along the Princes Highway, you can enjoy the following locations.
​
Approximately ten kilometres before Eden, turn right off the Princes Highway to visit the historical Boydtown
Boydtown is a village on Twofold Bay near Eden, on the far south coast of New South Wales, Australia.
It was the original settlement in the bay, founded by Benjamin Boyd in 1843 to service his properties on the Monaro Plains.
The remains of whaling stations and the local landmark Boyd's Tower, a stone spotting tower used to look for whales, are all nearby.
Boyd imported sandstone from Sydney to construct a lighthouse on south head. He also commissioned inns and churches, housing and store rooms, wharves and stock-yards.
When Boyd's finances collapsed, the town was abandoned from the 1840s until the first renovation of the Seahorse Inn in the 1930s.
In modern times, Boydtown is the smaller of the two towns in the bay, consisting mainly of housing, tourist caravan parks and the more recently refurbished Seahorse Inn.
​
Returning to the Princes Highway you will then head toward Eden, where you can enjoy lunch at the wharf or visit the whale museum and learn all about 'Old Tom', the whale. A story which is well worth learning, which attracted ABC 'Australian Story' coverage years ago.
