With little planning, islanders were on hand to show the way. Free transport, advice and maps to walk around area in search of koalas. 8 found in 30 minutes…great supersized milkshakes and homemade food at general store.

French Island - for young people who want to experience the Australian wilderness. The ferry was a highlight. 15 minutes cruise was just right. Once on the island it was walking, walking, walking. There are only two cars for hire at ridiculous prices and not in good condition. For anyone wanting to visit bring A LOT of water. There is only one general store and they only have undrinkable tank water. Bottled water is at fine dining prices. Thanks to the kindness of the elderly ex-manager Maurice we were treated to fresh homemade lemon cordial seeing we had gone through all our water. There is hardly any shade so definitely don't go in summer. You have to walk between the general store and Clump road to see koalas. The track to the Pinnacle lookout splits into three with no signage other than a warning sign. Take the left turn. Definitely have your mobile on full charge. Tracks around the lookout are sandy so no good for biking. Google maps was essential so was having the mobile on full charge. Highlight of the trip was getting back on the ferry. Oh and our son saw a black tiger snake.

French island encourages people to come and ride around the island. We followed a bike path that was so corrugated our teeth nearly fell out. The sandy stretches were very dangerous when the wheels got into it. 5 people 4 falls. Thankfully no breaks. They need some proper trails around the coast. Our picnic lunch was nice and it was great seeing some koalas.

For nature lovers, this will be a paradise!
On this 15 km walk (half a day trip) we started
by getting on a Ferry at Cribs Point and after 15 minutes of a smooth and fun ride, where we may be able to spot penguins, we were entering a world of unspoiled beauty of mangrove trees. Walking along the Old coast Road through fern trees we were passing Poobblebonk Swamp and reaching the Pinnacle Point Lookout, which is the highest point on the island.
What a diverse habitat! With the sounds of chirping birds we set our way along some farmland on the Clump Road. When we looked up, we spotted a several koalas nested in local eucalyptus trees. We turned right on a main intersection and took the Tankerton Road back to the Tankerton Foreshore Reserve. We stopped at a general store for a coffee and a hearty lunch. We had enough time before our ferry was departing and didn’t forget to explore the foreshore.

We are an older couple who have always had this place on our bucket list. We took our bicycles across on the ferry. Seniors are free on the weekend, but also get a small discount weekdays. If you haven't a bicycle you can hire a really good mountain bike from the area near the arrival jetty where the toilets are. I believe you have to do this in advance.
It's difficult to get a map of French Island, but in the toilet area beyond the jetty there is an information area, which has free maps. Alternatively the lovely lady in the General Store some three km in will provide one. We rode 30 km around the island, and really there isn't that much to see, but the area is unspoilt with pretty scenery, lots of birdlife, and we spotted echidnas and koalas, which are very healthy and well provided for by the many gum trees on the island. We had a very enjoyable day cycling and breathing in the fresh air.
You need to bring water but the general store has a great lunch menu which is good value for money. Only mountain bikes are suitable for the roads which are unsealed and can be a bit treacherous in places.

Although French Island has some beautiful outlooks, it is not really a tourist destination. It is predominately cleared farming land, can be wind swept and cold/hot depending on the season. There are few swimming beaches due to the predominate mud flats. This is not the forested, take the kiddies for a fossick sort of place and if you have not got a car be prepared to walk. Cars can only get to the Island by barge, which does not run everyday and even then, goes to Corinella on the opposite side to where the foot ferries dock.. But if it’s piece and quiet you want? You can stay in the local accoms and get plenty..

Felt so good after the walk. It was totally wild into the woods and I enjoyed it a lot. Far away from all the distractions.

We decided not to book any tours - just to get ferry over and explore on foot. The ferry cost $13 each way - hadn’t realised that it would be $52 return for the two of us to visit. We thought we could enjoy reading by the water like at Cowes, or go for a walk. When we got off the jetty there was a car park of abandoned cars (and a toilet) but no beachy places. We set off to walk the 3 km to the General Store - on a gravel road with nothing around. The General Store was a sight for sore eyes. It had all you could want and seating under a covered verandah. One of the staff kindly offered us a lift back to the jetty - we gratefully accepted it. Unfortunately we saw no koalas or wildlife!

The most beautiful koalas, beaches and bushland. You can hike, swim, and see mangroves and wildlife just outside of Melbourne

Secluded and isolated by the sea in Westernport Bay but accessible through a regular ferry service from either Stony Point in the Mornington Peninsular or Cowes in Phillip Island. Beautiful and minimally disturbed coastal heathlands and salt marshes can be found in the National Park. The joy of koala spotting at the top of Messmate strongybark eucalyptus and a myriad of wetland birds. A great bush walking or bike riding experience but not on a hot sunny day. Good times to visit are from autumn to early summer. Late winter and early spring are best for wild flowers tour of the island. Accommodation and food are available but need to be confirmed by phone. It is developing and an online search should produce useful information

There is a glamping option and I think there is still an upmarket b and b on the island.. I am not sure about camping on the beach option, you would have to check parks vic to see if allowed .. cheers
