Mallacoota suburb profile

Mallacoota is a remote coastal town in far east Gippsland, set where the Mallacoota Inlet meets a rugged ocean coastline and fringed by Croajingolong National Park. The town centres on a small harbour and a compact main street, with beaches, estuary waterways and bushland offering fishing, boating, kayaking and extensive bushwalking. Housing is low-density, a mix of seaside cottages, holiday houses and newer homes tucked into native vegetation. The community comprises long-term locals who work in fishing, tourism and community services, alongside artists and retirees, and the population swells with holiday visitors. A small regional airport and limited road access underline its wilderness appeal.
