context_page_description: Twofold Bay is an open oceanic embayment that is located in the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia.
  The bay was named by George Bass, for its shape of two bights. The northern bight is called Calle Calle Bay; while the southern bight is known as Nullica Bay.
  The bay is also known for the "Killers of Eden", the killer whales that helped a group of whalers in their search for other whales. The best-known of these was Old Tom, whose skeleton is preserved in Eden's local museum.
context_section_description: Artist Oswald Brierly managed a bay whaling operation at Boyd Town in the 1840s and while there he did a number of paintings and sketches of the bay. He did a few more paintings of the area after his return to Britain.
  Evening: A scene in Boyd Town, Twofold Bay, is the title of a poem by Thomas Fennell, RN, that appeared in a New South Wales literary journal in 1847. Twofold Bay is the name, and subject, of a poem by E.J. Brady 
  Will Lawson’s book In Ben Boyd's day (1939) is set in the bay, as is Shirley Barrett's novel Rush Oh! (2015) which offers a fictionalised account of the family of whaler George Davidson at Eden.
  The history of whaling in the bay, and the role Killer Whales in that process, is the focus of the Eden Killer Whale Museum.
