Mallacoota, Coastal town in East Gippsland, Australia.
Mallacoota spreads along the inlet where two large lakes meet the ocean, bordered by the extensive Croajingolong National Park covering 87,500 hectares.
Aboriginal Bidawal people inhabited the region until European settlers arrived in the 1830s, establishing whaling stations and later developing fishing industries.
The Mallacoota Arts Council organizes regular events throughout the year, while the Bunker Museum presents World War II coastal defense artifacts and information.
The town contains an airport with both gravel and asphalt runways, accommodating light aircraft and commercial flights from Melbourne.
The population of 1,183 residents increases by approximately 8,000 visitors during Easter and Christmas holiday periods.
