only 4ks from here in Nungurner. Take a picnic lunch or meat for barbeque at this lovely park. The Rose garden is lovely during the season and bush walks give you views of the Gippsland Lakes and there are lots of information boards about history, flora and fauna of the area. walk down to the farmyard to see how the 'help' lived and read the touching stories in the old farmhouse.

Must visits
hidden at the end of the road is this quaint village within 10ks of my Air Bnb. Cool village green with sprinklers and Bar BQs. The back beach is great for swimming, having a free gas Barbie, changing rooms, toilets and outside shower. Perfect place to just lay on the beach and enjoy the serenity!
