French Island Marine National Park

French Island National Park is a true paradise. French Island is a haven of peace and serenity. The 11,100ha park contains environments ranging from mangrove saltmarsh areas to open woodlands and plays home to an equally diverse range of wildlife.

Flora & Fauna - French Island supports a large population of the long-nosed potoroo and Koalas. Wetlands, mangroves and salt marshes provide spectacular habitat for water birds year round, including the soaring sea eagles. Over 230 bird species have been recorded, as well as 33 species of waders which forage along the coast at low tide.

In spring, the native vegetation is a blaze of colour. There are over 580 indigenous species, including over 100 orchid species.
