south gippsland and bass coast
/ Mamma ErinMamma loves a road trip, especially when there is the sea in sight. The Bass Coast is such a great place to explore with the kids and includes Phillip Island, Grantville and Inverloch. It is a great big area but here are some of Mamma’s discoveries in the beautiful Bass Coast.
Big 4 Inverloch Caravan Park
A great family-friendly accommodation option by the beach, with it’s very own splash park.
Bunurong Coastal Reserve, Bass Coast
The Bunurong Coastal Reserve is a STUNNING piece of coastline stretching from Invervoch to Cape Paterson, and beyond to Coal Point at Hamers Haven.
Wyeth-McNamara Park, Inverloch
This park has everything you need in a playground after a long drive in the car
The Screw Creek Nature Walk, Inverloch
A beautiful quiet spot to explore right close to the BIG4 Inverloch Holiday Park, to go for a stroll, hunt for crabs and explore the beach.
Shell Museum, Inverloch
At the South Gippsland Conservation Society and Bunurong Environment Centre, there is an ENTIRE room full of shells!
State Coal Mine, Wonthaggi
This historically significant site in Wonthaggi is where 17 million tonnes of coal was mined for Victorian industry railways back in the 1900s and now is an educational and tourist destination.
Coal Creek Community Park and Museum, Korumburra
We love finding treasure and sometimes it is the rusty gold type of treasure. Coal Creek Community Park is Korumburra’s historical heartland.
The Borough Dept. Store, Korumburra
Maru Koala and Animal Park, Grantville
Maru Koala and Animal Park is one of those places that allows you to get up real close to the animals - so close in fact you can touch and feed a couple of friendly ones!
Macca's Farm, Glen Forbes
A working and pick your own style farm and cafe - It’s such a stunning farm, with animals running free-range across the fields.
