Answers to your questions 'About Australia'.
Presented by Hovergo Australia : Tours and rides in the marine and nature reserves of South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.
Let me introduce myself and where I live. My name is Roger, I live in a seaside village of 250 people on the south coast of Australia. I have travelled over and across Australia. North from Tasmania to Darwin and west across to Perth and Carnarvon in Western Australia. I live in a really beautiful part of Oz, called Gippsland.
In Gippsland we are surrounded by dairy farms, some are hundreds of hectares/acres in size. Some farms milk 1000 cows in large rotary dairies and some only 250 cows. It is possible for visitors to see the milking in progress, It's very impressive.
There is plenty of accommodation here so there is always somewhere to stay. From my office window, I can see the huge granite range of mountains of Wilsons Promontory National Park across the bay. I drive a passenger hovercraft, taking tours around the Inlet and the marine parks. I also drive a passenger boat (10 passengers) for tours and sea kayaking trips on the inlet.
The sand islands across the channel from where I live form a barrier between the ocean and the mainland. Often there is no other person for miles/kilometers on the wide ocean beaches, so the hovercraft makes a pleasant trip to these ocean beaches.
There are rustic cattlemens huts on the islands (sleep up to 30 people) and the cattlemen hold weekend camp outs on the island./they provide a barbeque meal in the evening and cooked breakfast in the mornings.
You travel over and back by hovercraft or boat and bushwalk or ride horses 5 Km to the camp,it is fairly primitive but it is great fun. I have never met a person who did not enjoy the experience. Koalas, Kangaroos, Hog Deer, Wombats live on the island and migratory birds nest on the remote beaches.
