Gippsland is a region which stretches eastwards, from the periphery of Melbourne,
to the magnificent Lakes in the east and to the extraordinary Wilsons Promontory
in the south east.
The town on the Mitchell River developed in the days before road transport as a port its pastoral hinterland. Now is also supports a number of secondary industries. The Breamanza competition in held in March and the annual show in held in November.
| It
is riddled with masses of green forests and gardens, stunning mountains,
rocky rivers, picturesque towns and, to a large degree, is defined by
its long sandy beaches. It was the Polish explorer Count Paul Edmond de
Strzelecki who named the region after Governor Gipps. |
The Princes, South Gippsland and Bass Highways provide the major access to
its destinations. A population of around 40,000 people resides in the East
Gippsland Shire, over 11,000 of these in the major commercial centre of Bairnsdale.
A 280km drive – or three hours – will take you from Melbourne
to Bairnsdale, the gateway to the region.
