Lower Glenelg National Park
Lower Glenelg National Park, 27,300 hectares in area, is situated in the south-western corner of Victoria. The Glenelg River is the central feature. Along the last part of its winding 400 kilometre path to the sea the river has carved a spectacular gorge up to 50 metres deep through limestone. River erosion and the action of rainwater have created some remarkable caves.
These and the rich variety of bush plants and animals, not to mention activities such as canoeing, fishing and bushwalking, are ample reasons to visit Lower Glenelg National Park.
Things to Do
* Visit Princess Margaret Rose Cave. Commercial boat trips run from Nelson to the cave.
* Take a canoe along the river, camping at the various sites provided.
* The Glenelg estuary provides salt water habitat far upstream for a wide range of fish, including mulloway, bream, mullet, salmon trout and estuary perch, making it one of Australia's most popular fishing destinations.
* Visit points of interest such as Jones Lookout, the Bulley Ranges, and the Inkpot.
* The park is criss-crossed by fire trails, which offer short scenic bush walks. The Great South West Walk also passes through the park.
* There are cabins and a camping ground at Princess Margaret Rose Cave (bookings required).
* Camping is also permitted beside the Glenelg River (permits required).
