Mallacoota Inlet is a vast and stunning estuary system located on the far eastern coast of Victoria, nestled within the pristine wilderness of East Gippsland. described as the jewel in the crown of Victoria's Wilderness Coast, this massive, tannin-tinged saltwater inlet is a premier fishing destination, renowned for its scenic beauty and productive waters. The inlet is fed by the Genoa and Wallagaraugh Rivers and is periodically closed off from the Southern Ocean by sand bars. It features distinct upper and lower sections, known locally as the Top Lakes and Bottom Lake, which offer calm, sheltered waters ideal for a variety of boating and fishing activities. The township of Mallacoota sits on the southwestern side near the inlet's mouth, serving as the main access hub for anglers.
