Arrive on the island in advance to see more furry and feathered inhabitants. See koalas dozing in the treetops, and visit Australia's largest colony of fur seals at Seal Rocks. See wading birds landing at Rhyll and catch the annual shearwater migration at Cape Woolamai.
Surf's up
Walk along the Bass Strait coastline to witness rugged ocean beaches and beautiful scenery. Cool off at sheltered bay beaches and play, beach cricket with the kids and try a spot of fishing. Grab the surfboard to take advantage of superb surf and swimming beaches.
