The main reason to stop at Paynesville is to catch the very quick ferry to Raymond Island, which is a koala reserve.
After 15min of looking up in gum trees and my neck hurting, I was quiet sure this was a scam though!!! Hahaha.
Eventually I spotted the first one, really high up a tree…and then probably some 10-12 more during the day .
Most were just sleeping- as per usual- one moved! Surprise!
After catching the ferry back I drove down to Golden Beach to set up camp at a free camp. I was warned about the mosquitoes – and there were a lot of them!
For sunset I went down to Trinculo shipwreck -which unfortunately was much more covered by sand than I expected and a bit disappointing …as was the sunset .
