Orbost

Explore the heart of Snowy River country from Orbost, a small East Gippsland town surrounded by national parks, forests and beaches. Recharge at the town's cafes and bakeries, then visit galleries and see the historical Slab Hut – an original 1872 pioneer hut relocated from the upper Snowy River.

Snowy River
Take a drive into the Snowy River National Park through tall forests to see the Little River Gorge – Victoria's deepest gorge – and Little River Falls, a 600-metre high waterfall. Visitors can launch a canoe on the Snowy River or take a trip down the river in the Snowy River Hovercraft.

Cape Conran
See dramatic coastlines, sheltered bays, and endless golden beaches at Cape Conran Coastal Park – a good access point for offshore fishing. The nearby town of Marlo is a popular place for river and estuary fishing, water-based activities and relaxing on the beach.
