Summary
Weather for French Island

French Island, one of Victoria’s most remote and little known destinations, is a true paradise. Although twice the size of nearby Phillip island, it only has a population of around 60 people.

Referred to as the "island outback", French Island is only accessible by a short ferry ride from the Stony Point Station (near HMAS Cerberus) and Cowes on Phillip Island.

The 11,100ha French Island National Park covers most of the island, with a diverse environment ranging from mangrove salt marsh areas to open woodlands and is home to an equally diverse range of wildlife.

Undeveloped and isolated, French Island has no local government, no sealed roads, no piped water, no rates and generates its own electricity.

French Island is a haven of serenity, home to over 580 species of flora including 100 species of orchid. Of course it's most famous residents would be the koalas, which thrive on the island after being introduced in the 1880's.

Book a bus tour, go for a horse ride or get closer to nature on the variety of walking and cycling tracks. French Island is a must on any tour calender.
