Overview

Orbost enjoys a relaxed, outdoors‑focused lifestyle anchored by its position on the Princes Highway where the Snowy River meets the road. The town serves as a gateway to several national parks, including Snowy River, Alpine and Croajingolong, as well as the surf and fishing village of Marlo only 16 km away, making cycling, canoeing and festival‑driven tourism at the Sailors Grave Brewery popular pastimes. Local sport is alive with Australian‑rules football, cricket, hockey and an 18‑hole golf course, while the new Orbost Community College provides P‑12 education for families in the area.

As a service centre for beef, dairy and timber, Orbost offers a range of housing for workers and retirees alike. Road transport is excellent, with the Princes Highway crossing the Snowy River via a 1976 bridge and V/Line coach services linking Orbost to Batemans Bay, Marlo, Canberra and Bairnsdale for onward train travel to Melbourne. The town also has a regional airfield (Orbost Airport YORB) and sits just 4.7 km from the nearby parish of Curlip.
