The Australian Adventure Festival has 21km half marathon and 55km ultramarathon running events in the Mitchell River National Park, and 5km and 10km fun runs in East Gippsland, Victoria. There is also mountain biking and an adventure race (paddle, run, ride) in the Mitchell River National Park.

The aim of the festival is simply to bring together outdoor adventurers, and their friends and families, to celebrate the world of adventure in one ultimate festival. And, to do so in a naturally magic, untouched, adventure playground.

Whether you have a day, a weekend, or longer, there are so many reasons to visit this magical corner of Victoria. The region appeals to both the adventure-seeker and those wishing to be pampered. With an array of fresh produce and an emerging cool climate wine industry, the region also has gastronomic appeal.

Trek through pristine coastal wilderness or lose yourself in the calm inlets of the Gippsland Lakes by day, before snuggling up in one of the region’s many quality accommodation options at night. For the really adventurous, the region allows you to lots of adventures into a single day’s itinerary!

The rugged beauty of the high country and coastal areas is constantly changing over the seasons. Swimming, fishing, sailing and other recreational water sports are year-round pastimes for locals and visitors alike.
