A pod of killer whales paid a visit to a family holidaying on the NSW South Coast.
Vannessa James Estigarribia was down at Eden visiting friends and family over the Easter period.

Standing along the seaside, she spotted a orca breaking through the water. She grabbed her phone and started filming.

But the orca had disappeared.
"Where is it?" she asked, only to have it surface a few seconds later to a chorus of joy from bystanders - and just metres from the shore.
In the two-minute video posted to Facebook at least three killer whales casually swim by the group of onlookers.
This was one of several sightings of a pod of orcas in the water off Eden in recent days.
The Eden area has long been a great location for spotting whales, killer and otherwise and was once home to a small whaling industry.
