About Bemm River & East Gippsland
Bemm River sits on the far eastern edge of Gippsland's coastline, where river systems meet the sea and forested ridges frame a rugged, sheltered landscape. This quiet locale serves as a gateway to some of East Gippsland's most dramatic coastal and inland walks, making it an ideal base for exploring the region's gorges, estuaries, and pristine beaches.

The Bemm River Rapids Track starts close to the visitor centre and offers an immediate taste of the area's river scenery.
