Raymond Island

Raymond Island Koala
There are many things to see on Raymond Island, most famously being the Raymond Island Koala Trail. Not only are you guaranteed to see many of our cuddly locals, but you might even see some Kangaroos and Lorikeets, maybe even some Echidnas if you’re extra lucky!

Buchan Caves Tours

Buchan Caves
Buchan Caves don’t just offer the best caving experience in the area, they also are home to an icy cold spring-fed pool, amazing picnic spots – complete with walking tracks, plus Cafes and Pubs suitable for the whole family!
(75-minute drive from Paynesville.)

Paynesville to Eagle Point Walking Track


Eagle Point Silt Jetties

Since Hurricane Katrina took out the Mississippi Silt Jetties,
our silt Jetties are now the longest in the world!
Drive or cycle the 7.5km track and maybe enjoy a spot of fishing along the way.
