A recognised UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, Croajingolong National Park contains diverse ecosystems that remain almost unchanged.
Croajingolong National Park, 87,500 hectares in size, extends for 100 kilometres along the wilderness coast of Victoria's East Gippsland, taking in remote beaches, tall forests, heathland, rainforest, estuaries and granite peaks.
Flora & FaunaFifty-two mammal species have been recorded, 26 reptile species and 306 species of birds, representing about half of Victoria's and a third of Australia's total bird species. The abundance of possums, gliders and bats is attributed to the presence of hollow-bearing trees. Wetlands attract 40 species of migratory seabirds and waders while coastal heathlands and woodlands attract hawks, eagles and falcons. Six owl species live in the forests. Threatened species with a stronghold in the park include Ground Parrots, Eastern Bristlebird, Smokey Mouse, Grey-headed Flying Fox and Australian Fur Seal.
