Gabo Island Region

Situated off Victoria’s far east coast, Gabo Island is dominated by its pink granite lighthouse and is a sanctuary for seabirds and penguins. The island’s granite quarries supplied stone for significant buildings, and its waters teem with fish. Locals—including lighthouse keepers and volunteers—delight in hidden rock pools full of abalone and watch wedge‑tailed shearwaters return at dusk from a secret clifftop perch.
