Bairnsdale is the regional centre of East Gippsland. Take a walk along the Mitchell River and admire the beautiful old trees; a great spot to enjoy a morning or afternoon cup of tea. The Mitchell River silt jetties are a long, narrow bank of silt that have formed over millions of years and extend more than eight kilometres east into Lake King; the south bank is navigable by car from Eagle Point through to the very easternmost tip at Point Dawson. The Macleod Morass Boardwalk is a perfect example of one of the few remaining deep fresh water marshes in Victoria with large numbers of waterfowl.

There are a number of walking tracks at Paynesville and Raymond Island is one of the best places in Victoria to go koala spotting. Experience the diversity of the East Gippsland Rail Trail as it weaves from Bairnsdale to Newmerella, past undulating farmland, tall forests, creeks, rivers and flood plains; crossing over historic timber railway bridges and enjoying views of the Gippsland Lakes before arriving at Orbost and the Snowy River.

The Den of Nargun is a shallow cavern that hides behind a slight drizzle of a waterfall in Dead Cock Creek. Its aboriginal history is connected to the Kurnai tribe and the women of this group used the area for initiations and learning ceremonies. The Den itself is about a 20 minute walk from the carpark, set in a shaded rainforest gully, with the yellow wood tree and the Kanooka plant being seen at their most westerly extremes.
