Just across the border into Victoria
is Croajingolong, the jewel in the crown
of National Parks. This UNESCO World
Biosphere Reserve is precious with diverse eco
systems which remain as pristine as they were
when Australia's first people inhabited this
area. Secluded beaches, dramatic rocky
coastlines and a wonderful array of flora and
fauna are to be found here.
The charming lakeside towns of Mallacoota
and Gipsy Point nestle alongside the park. The
beautiful Mallacoota Inlet, with it’s shimmering
lakes, rivers, forests and turquoise sea lapping
quiet beaches captivates visitors. From Cann
River, visitors can access areas of Croajingolong National Park such as Point Hicks with its sand dunes and lighthouse, walks and camping areas. Tamboon Inlet and Wingan Inlet, with its secluded estuary for small boats or canoes, are also popular with campers.
Try your luck fishing from the beach at Marlo, a quiet holiday village or explore the coast at Cape Conran Coastal Park. Enjoy miles of sandy beaches, and explore the rock pools, boardwalks, bushwalks and lookouts. Diverse flora and fauna can be found in the coastal heath lands and Banksia woodlands. Keep an eye out for dolphins and seals in the ocean. Head inland from Nowa Nowa and visit Buchan Caves for a subterranean adventure, or stay above ground in the Snowy River, where you raft down a river or join a high country horse trek where wildflowers carpet the plains in the springtime.

At Lakes Entrance,Victoria’s fishing capital, cast a line from a jetty, riverbank or beach and see what you can haul in. The lakes are the largest inland waterway system in Australia, with four rivers feeding the five main lakes of the system. Sheltered from the rough ocean seas by the Ninety Mile Beach, the Gippsland Lakes are a centre for water-based recreation and fishing.

In the picturesque holiday village of Metung you can sail across the broad Bancroft Bay. Admire the wonderful wooden boats that are so much a part of this lakeside village. Enjoy one of Metung's fine restaurants or a pub meal on the waters edge as you take in the view over the bay. Unique galleries featuring renowned artists are dotted throughout the region giving this area a cultured edge. Raymond Island and Rotamah Island, in the Gippsland Lakes are both ideal places for wildlife spotting. Raymond Island has a large population of koalas — they can easily be spotted perched in their gum trees around the island.There is also a host of other wildlife, including kangaroos,
wallabies, echidnas and lizards.
