Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve
Hidden within the Strzelecki Ranges, just 10 kilometres from Port Welshpool, the meandering Agnes River cascades over rocks into a deep picturesque gorge at the Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve. At 59 metres, Agnes Falls are the highest single span falls in Victoria. Take the short 200 metre stroll along the walking track from the car park to viewing area. From the viewing platform, enjoy the spectacular view of the gorge.

Great Southern Rail Trail
This 131 kilometre smooth gravel rail trail runs from Nyora to Alberton. From Nyora, it passes through tranquil countryside, crossing the Bass River and passing beside the Hilda Falls. South of Leongatha, it meanders through gently undulating lush dairy farmland, areas of remnant bush and lowland scrub. It climbs from the foothills of Fish Creek to the peak of Mount Hoddle and then down a steep descent through dense forest with magnificent views of Wilsons Promontory on its approach to Foster. The trail then flattens out, passing through Toora, Welshpool and finally reaching Alberton. There is a 5 kilometre branch of the rail trail that extends from Welshpool to the coast at Port Welshpool.

Nooramunga Marine & Coastal Park
This coastal park is protected from the pounding surf of Bass Strait by sand barrier islands, resulting in shallow marine waters, isolated granite islands and intertidal mudflats. Activities for visitors include fishing, boating, camping and coastal walks.
