ForestsAlmost all roads out of Cobden lead to great places, but while driving to them, enjoy the delightful landscapes, sea views, and the many stands of beautiful Australian bush, especially that of the Jancourt Forest. Also take time to go horse riding with informative guides, or take a walk along one of the many nature trails such as the former Cobden to Timboon railway corridor.

Walks
A walking track through the Cobden bush follows the path of the Old Railway from Timboon to the Curdies. Along the way you can see some of the old lime kilns which were once plentiful in the area. The five kilometre walk finishes at the Old Railway Trestle Bridge, the last of its kind in Victoria. On the trestle bridge walk there are up to 150 species of birds to be identified including blue wrens and the white Goshawk. There are also koalas, Kangaroos and plenty of Possums.
