Cannon's Creek Coastal Park

Cannon's Creek is a coastal village on northern Westernport Bay, classified as an International Conservation Zone, 65 km SE of Melbourne.

It is located on the Rutherford Inlet, with extensive mangroves and millions of crabs!

The main walking track includes a boardwalk and lookout, with splendid views across the estuary towards the settlement of Warneet.

I visited the Park on September 19, 2010.
