Cape Nelson State Park

Reviewed By Crystalline4u - Traralgon, Australia

This is a 243-hectare park and it's not too far from Portland if you are staying in the area... it's well worth exploring. There are stunning vistas from wherever you are in the park. You can look for wildlife as they have the heath mouse, red-necked wallaby and echidnas in the area. The lighthouse is in this park ...but even if you don't visit the lighthouse there are some amazing walks to be had in the area. It's truly utterly stunning. There is a 3 kilometre cliff walk if you want to just enjoy the beautiful views.
