Mallacoota Victoria
Mallacoota in Victoria is a quiet seaside holiday village. It is surrounded by the 87,500 ha Croajingolong National Park with its 100 km of undeveloped coastline. The small town lies in the heart of a genuine wilderness coast.
Quiet and picturesque coastal holiday and fishing resort town.
It is a village which seems to have been specifically created for campers and caravan holidaymakers. The main foreshore between Captain Stevenson’s Point and Coull’s Inlet is a wonderfully extended caravan park. There is a great sense of laziness and peacefulness about the town. Anglers in tinnies ply the quiet waters, campers relax and enjoying the views and the admirably named Bottom Lake and Top Lake being unspoiled places of great tranquillity.
The poet and journalist, E.J. Brady moved to Mallacoota after World War I. He played host to Henry Lawson and other literary and artistic luminaries. He has left us with a seductive description of the sunset over Mallacoota Inlet: “I have never seen anything in Australia to equal some sunsets that have held me spellbound in Mallacoota.
Picture a perfectly still sheet of water, three or four miles in width, with a number of little islets clustered in one corner, covered by green coast-currant and honeysuckle, with billowing ranges at the opposite margin; the Pacific Ocean spreading its blue floors eastward, and purple hills and peaks over in the west, where the sun is radiating bands of colour towards the zenith, green, blue, vermilion, and a hundred intermediate shades of rose and yellow!” The surrounding countryside is still that beautiful.
Location

Origin of Name
It is believed that Mallacoota is a Krauaetunglung Aboriginal word which either means “the place of many waters”, “place of meeting” or “good water”.
