Port MacDonnell

Once one of Australia's busiest ports shipping wheat and wool to Europe, Port MacDonnell has fought to be the reigning champ with a new title - Australia's southern rock lobster capital. Periwinkles Cafe on Sea Parade is serving up fresh local lobsters and comes highly recommended as a place to stop for lunch or dinner.

Get pulled in by the crash of waves against the dramatic cliffs of Cape Northumberland and climb the historic lighthouse built in 1882. From its viewing tower, you are rewarded with sweeping views of the astonishing scenery. Follow in the footsteps of the lighthouse's first keeper Ben Germein, and walk the trail through the incredible 55 hectare reserve named after him. In Germein Reserve, you will find orange bellied parrots, royal spoonbills, echidnas and swamp wallabies.

Located 30 minutes east along the coast from Port MacDonnell are wetlands of international importance known as Piccaninnie Ponds. Snorkel along the surface of limestone-filtered water or dive down into the chasm known as "The Cathedral" with a guided scuba tour. Take a walk on the beach and see freshwater springs bubbling up onto the sand.
