Genoa - Places to See

Wingan Nature Walk
From Genoa there is a track leading out to the Croajingolong National Park where the Wingan Nature Walk (which lasts about one and a half hours) moves from the camping site through stands of bloodwoods, melaleucas, swamp paper-barks and wild cherry trees. The observant visitor may see feathertail gliders, eastern water skinks, kookaburras, sugar gliders, lyrebirds, eastern whipbirds and possums. The track continues to Fly Cove where George Bass anchored in 1797. This windswept coast is home to soldier crabs and pelicans. The Skerries (islands which can be seen from the beach) are an important habitat for Australian fur-seals and little penguins.

The Victorian Department of Conservation, Forests and Lands has produced a single sheet for visitors which helps to identify the diverse fauna and flora in the area.
