Bunurong Marine National Park

Bunurong Marine National Park is a protected marine area located off the coast of Cape Paterson in the South Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. Established in November 2002, this 2,100-hectare marine park encompasses a diverse range of coastal and underwater habitats including intertidal reefs, subtidal rocky reefs, algal gardens, and seagrass beds. The park forms part of a broader conservation network that includes the adjacent Bunurong Marine and Coastal Park, together protecting the waters along a significant stretch of Victoria's southern coastline near Inverloch. The marine environment here is characterized by cool temperate waters, relatively protected from south-westerly swells due to the filtering effect of King Island in Tasmania located far offshore. Both the national park and the adjacent marine park derive their name from the Bunurong Aboriginal people, the traditional owners of this coastal region who maintained custodianship of these lands and waters for thousands of years prior to European settlement.
