Trail reviews for French Island National Park
French Island is a bit of gem. Mostly off grid, and pretty sleepy. The loop was a good one, great views and conditions. The only downside is the road walking section, but the chance of seeing koalas in the surrounding trees makes it worth it. I was lucky enough to spot six of them.
