The Bunurong Marine National Park is a protected marine national park located off the coast of Cape Paterson in the South Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. The 2,100-hectare marine national park is located about 6 kilometres southwest of Inverloch and about 5 kilometres off the coastline. The coastal waters protect a range of habitats including intertidal reefs, subtidal rocky reefs, algal gardens and seagrass beds. The waters are cool, akin to Victoria’s central and western coasts. However, they are relatively protected from south-westerly swells due to the location of far away King Island, Tasmania.The Bunurong Marine National Park is an outstretching middle section of the Bunurong Marine Park. Both parks draw their name from the Australian Aboriginal Bunurong people who are the traditional owners of the land and water in the region.

Rescom Wonthaggi

Wonthaggi is located in South Gippsland, several kilometres inland from the coast, between Inverloch and the gateway town to Phillip Island, San Remo.

Between 1910 and 1968, black coal was mined from Wonthaggi's network of underground mines, creating a thriving industrial settlement for miners and their families during those years. Since the mine closure, Wonthaggi has developed into a large commercial centre, with parts of the old mine now reopened for guided tours. Places of interest in the town include the former railway station which houses the Wonthaggi Historical Society and displayed outside the Wonthaggi Hotel are the giant jaw bones of a 23 metre whale that washed up on a near by beach back in 1923.

Located just 7 kilometres south of the Wonthaggi town centre is the seaside community of Cape Paterson. It offers a scenic and tranquil coastal retreat for visitors and marks the start of the 12 km scenic coastal drive to Inverloch passing through Bunurong Marine Park and offering spectacular views.

Sunrise Beach Meditation on the Bunurong Marine National Park, with Kat John

I just had the most wonderful weekend at Inverloch with a group of gorgeous individuals - Jeremy from reallymelbourne.com.au, Matt Tully from tullytravels.com, Ella & Andie at snobfashionblog.com.au, Thom Wilton at couturing.com and Nick & Clare from pedestrian.tv

We all dragged our little butts out of bed in the vague hope we'd see the sun wake up...which alas was not to be. However just being down the beach at this time was such a calming and inspiring experience. So too was our thoughtful meditation as hosted by the incredibly wonderful Intuitive Mentor, Kat John. Here she takes us through how she herself began her own journey with the art of meditation. I hope you enjoy x
