With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Bairnsdale, 20 miles away, has to offer. Mitchell River Silt Jetties Gippsland Lakes Reserve should be at the top of your list here. Robb Street Gallery and Bairnsdale Historical Museum are fantastic attractions too. Omeo is another wonderful option. It’s 55 miles away and home to an array of interesting things to do. Omeo Park, Omeo Historic Post Office and Oriental Claims Historic Area are just the start.
