Marlo & Cape Conran
Marlo is located at the mouth of the Snowy River in Victoria’s Far Waterbirds East, 14kms south of Orbost. The Orbost-Marlo road closely follows most of the Snowy River’s final journey through grazing that may be seen at land and pockets of temperate rainforest to the sea. The coastal road at Marlo then heads east to Cape Conran. Along this route is an excellent estuary walking trail as well as lookouts over the Marlo & Cape Conran Snowy River entrance and ocean. The Cape Conran Coastal Park features a pris ne coastline, rocky cliffs and a mixture of rocky and sandy beaches and scenic views from the Salmon Rocks lookout.
