Marlo & Cape Conran
Marlo is located at the mouth of the Snowy River in Victoria’s
Far East, 14kms south of Orbost. The Orbost-Marlo road
closely follows most of the Snowy River’s final journey
through grazing land and pockets of temperate rainforest to
the sea. The coastal road at Marlo then heads east to Cape
Conran. Along this route is an excellent estuary walking trail
as well as lookouts over the Snowy River entrance and
ocean. The Cape Conran Coastal Park features a pristine
coastline, rocky cliffs and a mixture of rocky and sandy
beaches and scenic views from the Salmon Rocks lookout.
East Cape Conran and the Yeerung River provide additional
boardwalks and trails to explore. Nearby, the Cabbage Tree
Creek Flora and Lake Wat Wat/Corringle Wildlife Reserves
are also “must locations” to visit.
For waterbirds visit: Marlo Foreshore and entrance, Lake
Wat Wat/Corringle Wildlife Reserves, Mots Beach to Frenchs
Narrows, East and west Cape Conran and the Yeerung River.
