Wildlife

Gippsland has a rich and diverse array of wildlife and the unspoilt landscape in the region provides plenty of viewing opportunities.

'The Prom'
Head south down the C444 to Wilsons Promontory National Park for a weekend of camping or a scenic day trip. Take to the trails and see a wide range of native wildlife including rosellas, koalas, wombats, emus and kangaroos in this particularly important wildlife refuge.

Birdwatching on the water
Slow down amidst the gentle waters, abundant birdlife and undisturbed islands of Gippsland Lakes. Located in central Gippsland just east of Sale, the elevated boardwalks stretching over the wetlands provide access for birdwatchers to a wide range of migratory birds, swans, herons, egrets, and black spoonbills.
