National Park

The view in the photo is to the north. Mallacoota in Gippsland has dramatic scenery - One of the most isolated fishing villages and scenic places in Victoria.

The park extends for some 100 kms along the coast of north east of Victoria, protecting the flora and fauna of the region. Explore rainforests, visit stunning isolated sandy beaches, see shipwrecks, find places to explore and spot rare birdlife and native animals. These are just some of the things to do here.

The park is named after the indigenous people of the region, the Croajingolong.
