Gippsland encompasses a wide range of ecosystems from coastal heathland, rainforests, fern gullies, woodlands, to salt marshes and mangroves. Our tour will visit floristically diverse areas including remnant heathland reserves, coastal parks, Tarra Bulga National Park and a big focus will be the jewel that is Wilsons Promontory National Park. “The Prom” covers 50,512 hectares and joins Victoria’s largest marine park. It is home to more than 700 native plant species, 30 kinds of mammals and 180 species of birds. You will find sweeping beaches, cool fern gullies, great views and spectacular rock formations. Tarra Bulga National Park is a critical remnant of the once vast cool temperate rainforests of Gippsland and has delightful short walks through fern gullies with giant Mountain Ash. The tour will include expert speakers in the evenings highlighting the flora of the tour and we will visit some superb private gardens and enjoy fine company.
