Understand

Get in

By car

Going on the Princes Highway, turn at the C617 junction. It should have Mallacoota as its focal point. C617 doesn't pass any towns, but once your on, you can't go anywhere else but Mallacoota - unless you U-turn in the middle of the winding roads or turn onto C618 towards Gypsy Point. The road is reasonably windy, but not as windy as a lot of other Australian roads experiencing large levels of altitude changes.

By plane

Occasional Qantas Link, Rex and JetStar have flights to Mallacoota Aerodrome (XMC ^IATA), toll-free: 1300 347 247. (updated May 2021) however, the nearest airport that has a flight a day is Merimbula Airport (MIM^IATA). (updated May 2021)
