The Buchan Munji (Buchan Caves Reserve) will reopen to visitors ahead of the Easter long weekend following months of recovery works to safely restore the park following major flooding that hit the area on Boxing Day. The reserve will open on Tuesday 26 March 2024. 

 

East Gippsland acknowledges the Gunaikurnai, Monero and the Bidawel people as the Traditional Custodians of the land that encompasses East Gippsland Shire. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in East Gippsland, their Elders past and present.

Metung

Boatingyachtonbackwatercouple-330pxWThe tranquil village of Metung has long been a favourite for holiday-makers. While the main activities involve boating and fishing, Metung is also known for its scenic walks, good local food, monthly farmers market and unique galleries with a coastal flair. Enjoy the scenic drive along the river into Metung and even stop to throw in a line.

Embark on a cruise aboard one of the many boats that travel between Metung and Lakes Entrance, learn how to sail or hire a boat and explore the lakes and waterways yourself. Yachts and cruisers are available for hire for overnight stays, allowing visitors to tie up in some of the protected creeks and jetties that abound in the Gippsland Lakes system. The Metung Boardwalk offers a leisurely stroll around this charming village right along the foreshore, then find a cafe to sit and enjoy the view with a glass of one of local wines.

For further information or brochures visit our local Visitor Information Centres online or call in.

Things to do 

  • Enjoy a round of golf at the local golf course.
