Experience Lindenow

Lindenow lies between Bairnsdale and Mitchell River National Park. Furthermore, it sits at the centre of East Gippsland’s productive horticulture area and supports the surrounding rural district. The region produces top-quality vegetables, fine wool, and premium dairy. These goods are sold across Australia.

Take a tour of the lush valleys and see where premium produce grows. Next, head toward Dargo—a remote community nestled at the base of the Dargo High Plains. This route is also a gateway into the Alpine National Park and Mitchell River National Park.

If you head west, you enter Mitchell River National Park and the Bataluk Cultural Trail. Importantly, this area features the cultural site of Den of Nargun. You will also discover waterfalls, rock pools, and abundant wildlife.
