- Hello and welcome to my TH-cam channel! Today, we're going to take a virtual tour of a unique and beautiful destination - the French Island in Victoria, Australia.
French Island is located in Western Port Bay, around 60 km southeast of Melbourne. It is the largest coastal island of Victoria and one of the few remaining natural islands in the region. With its unique landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural history, French Island is a true gem of Australia's southern coast.
Firstly, let's talk about the island's geography. French Island is largely covered by a dense forest of eucalyptus trees and is home to many different plant species. The island's coastline is also quite diverse, featuring sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, and mangrove wetlands. The island is also home to a large saltwater marshland, which is a vital breeding ground for many species of birds and fish.
The wildlife of French Island is truly remarkable. The island is home to over 500 plant species, including rare orchids and native grasses. It is also a haven for wildlife, with many species of mammals, birds, and reptiles calling the island home. Kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, and possums are just some of the mammals that can be seen on the island, while birdwatchers will enjoy spotting rare species such as the eastern osprey, the Australasian bittern, and the white-bellied sea eagle.
In terms of its cultural history, French Island has a rich Aboriginal history and was also home to a penal colony in the late 1800s. The island's name comes from the French explorer Nicolas Baudin, who visited the island in 1802. Today, French Island is a popular tourist destination and is known for its peaceful and unspoiled environment.
Visitors to French Island can enjoy a range of activities, such as hiking, cycling, birdwatching, and fishing. The island also has a number of accommodation options, ranging from camping and glamping sites to bed and breakfasts and holiday homes.

did you book a tour or walk around byself?
By ourselves. The ferry goes to the island frequently, not difficult to handle the tour by yourself, mate.
how long does it take from stony point to French Island by ferry
mate?
Yes, exactly! We tour the island with friends. Inside the island there is a shop near the port where you can hire a car. Better to call them the day before if you want to do so.
