Cabbage Tree Palms Walk
Located about 5 kilometres off the Princes Highway is the southernmost stand of Cabbage Tree Palms in Australia and the only location in Victoria where these palms grow naturally.
Livistona australis - the Cabbage Tree Palm, is a fan palm that grows naturally in the lowland forest and swamps of southern Queensland and along the east coast of Australia and it occurs further south than any other Austraian palm species. It is the only palm that is found naturally in Victoria. The early settlers supplemented their meagre rations with the hearts of the Cabbage Tree Palm.
The turnoff to the walk is past Orbost and about 5 kilometres east of Cabbage Tree Creek and is well signposted on the Princes Highway.
