Visit Croajingolong National Park, Australia

This extraordinary park, at the border between Victoria and New South Wales, was declared a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve because of its white beaches, rocky coastal headlands, rambling heathlands and towering eucalypts.

Hundreds of bird and plant species flourish here making it a paradise for bushwalking and birdwatching. The peaceful estuary at Tamboon is known for wading birds and at Clinton Rocks granite boulders line the shore, dyed a vivid orange by lichen.

Mount Everard Lookout has magnificent coastal views, while some of the most beautiful walks are at Lake Elusive, through silvertop ash and fern gulleys to the Wingan Rapids.

The ideal base to explore this park is Gipsy Point at the Mallacoota Inlet.
