Phillip Island and Gippsland Travel Guide
Gippsland's main attractions are natural, with splendid national parks and unspoilt wilderness areas including Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve, Wilsons Promontory National Park, Tarra-Bulga National Park, Croajingolong National Park, Baw Baw National Park, Snowy River National Park, and many more. These pristine areas offer an impressive variety of landscapes, from mountains and forests to beautiful stretches of coastline, and there are many rewarding walking trails for keen hikers. The region also boasts several marine reserves and picturesque islands, as well as some excellent scuba diving sites.
Other popular attractions in Gippsland include Walhalla, a historic gold-mining town where visitors can take underground tours of the old mines; the magnificent Buchan Caves, located in the town of the same name; Port Albert, Gippsland's oldest port; and the exciting wildlife experiences on Phillip Island and at several other animal sanctuaries throughout the region. For a fun break from outdoor adventures, visitors can also enjoy the quirky A Maze 'N Things theme park.
