Gippsland

Escape to Gippsland, occupying the vast eastern corner of Victoria, and be rewarded with natural landscapes of unparalleled beauty. When travelling across Gippsland, you’ll be visiting the lands of the Gunaikurnai and Bunurong People.

Relax on unspoilt beaches, fill up on farm-fresh produce and get active on the region’s lakes, rivers and mountain ranges.
