Cann River

Cann River is a small township on the junction of the Cann River and Princes Highways, approx 450 km east of Melbourne - making it a popular stopping place for those travelling along the highway.

It is close to the Croajingolong National Park and provides access to Point Hicks, the first land to be sighted by Europeans on the east coast of Australia.

Cann River to-day is a mixture of a sawmilling town , stopover point, starting point for bushwalkers, and a centre for local Aboriginal Arts and Crafts.
