Point Hicks Marine National Park

The Point Hicks Marine National Park is a protected marine national park situated off Point Hicks in the East Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. The 4,000-hectare (9,900-acre) marine park is situated approximately 450 kilometres (280 mi) east of Melbourne and 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of Cann River,^[2] adjacent to the Croajingolong National Park and Point Hicks Lighthouse Reserve.

The marine national park contains the site of two shipwrecks: the SS Kerangie lost in 1879, and the SS Saros lost in 1937.^[3]

Point Hicks represents Victoria's warmer eastern marine environment, and contains species that do not occur in the cooler waters to the west.^[4]
