Explore bike trails, koalas, and quiet national park at French Island.
French Island might only be a short ferry ride from Victoria’s holiday hotspot of Mornington Peninsula but expect to be surrounded by nothing but nature.
Cycling Through French Island’s National Park
“Shame we didn’t see any koalas,” I say to my husband when we’ve just finished a 45-kilometre bike ride around French Island in Western Port, just off Mornington Peninsula.
We’re at the French Island general store having a cuppa after close to four hours of biking through the hilly national park of this sparsely populated island, renowned for its abundance of koalas.
