Places To Go And Things To See And Do

There are probably as many beautiful places to visit in Gippsland, both inland and along the Victorian and N.S.W Coastline as anywhere in the world. The South Gippsland region of Victoria in particular, offers some of the most unique and interesting sights in Australia. Below you’ll find a short list of the most popular places to visit.

Tarra Bulga National Park

Serene and peaceful native ferns thrive among the rainforest vegetation in many Eastern Victoria areas, but none more beautiful than in Victoria’s Gippsland region. You will find the Tarra Bulga National Park only a short scenic drive from Yarram. It can be cool, foggy and wet in the winter months so best to check the weather and enjoy the most of the many walking tracks this National Park has to offer.

Agnes Falls Tallest Waterfall In Victoria

The tallest waterfall in Victoria cascades down a picturesque gorge near Agnes, and makes a cool place to stop on a hot sunny day. Make sure you take a trip after a big rainfall and enjoy the spectacular show it puts on. Agnes Falls lookout is only a short stroll from the car park and there are sturdy picnic benches and toilet facilities  under the shady trees beside the river.

The Ninety Mile Beach

One of the most beautiful parts of the east coast of Australia begins in the South at Woodside beach, with safe swimming and very nice to go boating, sailing, cruising or fishing from the many boat ramps available in the area. Lifeguards patrol the peaceful beaches over the warmer months and the sand is always clean and white. Make sure you bring food and water as the facilities can be sometimes limited.

Port Franklin Fishing Village

This quiet coastal town has very reasonable real estate prices, enough facilities to keep it afloat and is only a few minutes drive from the main shopping precinct of Foster. If you like peace and quiet and enjoy your fishing with tranquil, unspoilt coastal scenery, a visit to Port Franklin is highly recommended. You just might like it enough you’ll want to stay permanently.

Mount Best Scenic Lookout

This is one of the best places in South Gippsland to see expansive views across Wilsons Promontory and Corner Inlet. The Mount Best Lookout provides 360 degree views towards Mirboo North, Yanakie and Mount Fatigue. Read about one of the regions tragedies from the early 1900’s on the historical plaque at the top and take pictures sitting on the large rock.

Sandy Point Resort Style Village

This beachside town has so much to offer the tourist or permanent resident. With a fabulous café, supermarket and beach only a short stroll across the road, it provides enough resources for you to be able to stay for weeks and enjoy the facilities at Sandy Point, Corner Inlet and Waratah Bay to their fullest potential.

They can also cater for groups of almost any size, in a relaxed environment, where queues are a rarity.
