Gippsland National Parks
On the north east corner, the Croajingolong UNESCO World Heritage Biosphere protects the plants, animals and stunning pristine coastal scenery, backed by deep forests. Running along the coast for some 100 kilometres, you can find breathtaking vistas of lakes, cliffs, islands, beaches, the ocean and trees as far as the eye can see. Further west, the mountains begin, leading to the High Country Region of Victoria and the Snowy Mountains in the north. See the NSW Victoria Touring Map.
Another attraction to the region is the weather.
