Croajingolong National Park, Nature reserve in East Gippsland, Australia.
Croajingolong National Park stretches along Victoria's coast with a mix of sandy beaches, eucalyptus forests, and rocky headlands facing the Tasman Sea. The area holds sheltered bays, forested hills, and a rugged shoreline with several different environments to explore.
The park was designated as a protected area in 1956 and was later recognized for its conservation importance. This acknowledgment led to its inclusion in an international network and supported the region's long-term nature protection goals.
The name comes from the Krauatungalung language and refers to eastern lands where indigenous peoples maintained long-standing ties to the coastal environment. Visitors today can still sense this connection in how the landscape is known and valued by those who visit.
The park has several camping areas at different locations that provide facilities for visitors. It helps to check conditions before your visit, as some areas may have varying accessibility depending on the season.
The area is an important refuge for rare bird species found in few other parts of Australia. Visitors can spot these special birds and gain a glimpse into the diverse wildlife of the park.
