One of East Gippsland premier fishing destinations, Bemm River has recently become a favourite with bird-watchers, bushwalkers and eco tourists, who appreciate its natural beauty and prevalent wildlife. Located around 450 kilometres from Melbourne along the Princes Highway, the town sits on the far eastern fringe of the Cape Conran Coastal Park. The river itself winds down from the mountains and is fed by the Errinundra River, McKenzie River and Combienbar River, as well as many creeks and streams, before meeting the ocean at Sydenham Inlet.

The town is nestled between the river, the inlet and the sea. Bemm River has a hotel, a shop and a caravan park. No petrol is sold in Bemm River so make sure you have plenty of fuel in your car and your boat.

Things to do 

• Fishing, fishing and more fishing!! This is the place to come if you want to fish for bream

• Luderick Point Memorial Park where the kids can stop for a play, cook a snag and enjoy fishing from the bank

• Plenty of fishing platforms around town if you don't have a boat to get in
