[ National Parks ]

Of all the regions within Victoria, Gippsland has it all, camping, swimming, fishing, bushwalking, ecotourism and much more. With 12 National Parks, numerous coastal and marine parks and reserves, ranging from coasts to mountains and rainforests, Gippsland's parks has something for everyone in any season.

Come back to nature and let yourself go, into a new peaceful and pollution free world, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

 Scenic View
Ferns At the coast, spend some time and relax and enjoy the cool clear waters, long  sandy beaches, spectacular cliffs and rock pools. Wade through rock pools, paddle in the clear waters of Bass Strait and discover the abundance of marine life, at the numerous marine parks and reserves.

Or explore the magnificent and huge eucalypt forests in the high country, with their diverse flora and fauna. Travel by car and follow the tourist trails or be more adventurous and walk the many and varied tracks. This is where you will hear the wild birds calling or see the native animals in their natural habitat.

On those warm unpleasant days, visit the many precious pockets of cool rainforests and let the temperature difference bring you back to earth. At the other end, in the winter season the Baw Baw Plateau provides ample snow for the ski enthusiast, with Mount Baw Baw being the closest ski resort to the City of Melbourne.
