(Click on an image thumbnail to see a larger view here.)
Mallacoota Inlet is almost completely surrounded by Coajinglong National Park. This coastal park consists of some 860 square km. The park contains a diverse range of plants, animals and environments, including Rain forests, Heath lands, Woodlands, Estuaries, Rivers, Shifting sand dunes, Salt marshes and Swamps.
In 1977 Croajinglong received international recognition when it was declared a UNESCO world biosphere reserve. This status was given because the National Park combined a large number of undisturbed natural habitats for rare and significant plants and animals.
