Croajingalong NP: Victorian Wilderness Coast Walk - South to North
Tue 19th May 2026
Bookings available to active members only.
(This trip was rescheduled from 2025)
This is a walk between Bemm River and Mallacoota taking in a wilderness section of the Victorian coastline including Point Hicks, Petrel Point, Wingin Inlet and Shipwreck Creek. We'll be walking along rocky points, long sections of beaches and up on tracks through heathland. We'll drive down from Canberra to Mallacoota and then use a local transport service to drop off the group to the start of the walk and our first night's camp at Clinton Rocks. From there we can do an explore west towards Tamboon Inlet. After that, each day's walk will be between 10 and 14km. On the final day there is the option of walking right into Mallacoota (checking out a sea cave and Bastion Point) or bailing out earlier at Betka River. The full walk from Clintons Rock to Mallacoota is around 95km with just over 1000m cumulative climbing (inc. side trips). We'll be taking up to two packrafts to enable crossing and exploration of key rivers so participants will be expected to take some group gear. At this time of year, we expect stable autumn weather and lots of whales migrating north (according to the lighthouse keeper at Gabo Island)! There are might be ticks requiring tick prevention and treatment measures. Extra water might need to be carried as it may be difficult to find free flowing creeks. While we're allowing 6 days and 6 nights for the activity and an extra day for travel, we may finish earlier. The day-to-day itinerary, including the beach camps will be advised in the message board. The transport service will cost around $350 for the group. Other costs are Victoria Parks camping fees and car pooling costs to/from Canberra - tba via message board.
