Local Spotlight 🐾🚲

📍 French Island

Just a short ferry ride from the mainland, French Island feels like another world—untouched bushland, quiet gravel roads, and a wild off-grid vibe that’s hard to beat. This week’s guide includes a group trip heading over, and it’s the perfect excuse to explore Victoria’s largest coastal island. Home to koalas, echidnas and over 230 bird species, it’s a dream for hikers, nature lovers and cyclists alike. No shops, no mains power—just fresh air, big skies, and adventure at your own pace. More info via French Island National Park.
