Location
Orbost

Orbost is located right alongside the mighty Snowy River, a town surrounded by bucolic green paddocks and just a small side-step off the Princes Highway. 

Orbost is full of little treasures, from the local brew and cellar door of Sailors Grave Brewing to the many cafés and a couple of pubs.  Use Orbost as a base to head to Marlo or Corringle Beach.

Orbost Stargazing Vantage Point

Newmerella Rest Area
Princes Highway, Newmerella VIC 3886

Head to Forest Park on the edge of Orbost, or beyond to Newmarella, at the Recreation Reserve. To access the Newmerella Recreation Reserve, head back out of town and towards Bairnsdale, crossing the Snowy River as you do. The Recreation Reserve has toilets and much lower lighting than in Orbost itself, allowing for better stargazing.

Along the banks of the Snowy River where the plains meet the sea lies the sweet town of Orbost.
