The Croajingolong National Park and Cape Conran Coastal Park are situated in East Gippsland, Victoria.These parks protect the stretch of beautiful coastline south of and between Orbost and Malacoota. Although this is an easy trip it is interesting 4wding. The warmer months are recommended so advantage can be taken of the beaches, and fishing and canoeing on the many superb rivers and inlets. Because of these attractions campsites are often crowded in the peak times. This is a great trip to combine with the High Country on the way to or from Sydney or Canberra.

This trip starts where the bitumen ends in Cape Conran Coastal Park and heads east along the Old Coast Road past Yeerung Gorge and Bemm River to the Princes Highway at Cann River. From here the Tamboon and Point Hicks Roads are followed to the Cicada Trail, passing many potential short detours to great campsites including Peach Tree Creek, Thurra Rver and Mueller River.Before the Cicada Trail crosses the Mueller River a detour to the north takes you to the Mt Everard walking trail. Continue on the Cicada trail through tall forests and then along the West Wingan, Wingan Link and Hard to Seek tracks. A detour can be made to climb Genoa Peak which is over 400 meters high and has great views. Follow the Betka Track to the scenic Shipwreck Creek campsite on the coast. From here it is a short run along the Centre Road into Malacoota which has all facilities, an enormous van park right on the estuary and many wonderful beaches.
