Mallacoota

Mallacoota was a small town, quite remote that we had picked out when looking at the map, it seemed like a nice spot that was off the beaten track to go stay and get away from the crowds.
On our way to Mallacoota and all down the south coast from Eden (NSW) to Gippsland (VIC) all the bush land had been burnt by the 2019/2020 bushfires. It was very eye opening to see the devastation of those bushfires, and it was heartbreaking to think about how many animals would have perished. It was also difficult to see people’s homes destroyed.
The regrowth of native plant however was impressive, with much of the forest being covered in new growth, which after talking to a local was amazing to see, and slowly she had been noticing all the birds and wildlife reappearing.

Mallacoota had many lovely free campsites available and ON THE BEACH too!! We had a fabulous time there, running on the beach, doing bush crafts and fishing! We caught too big fish while we were staying there, one salmon and our first tailor - on the small rod too!!Read more
