Discovering Gippsland Region of Victoria Australia

Rolling Hills of Gippsland Region Australia
Rolling Hills of Gippsland Region Australia

Gippsland, in southeastern Australia, offers a captivating blend of natural beauty, adventure, and cultural richness. Stretching from Melbourne's eastern outskirts to the New South Wales border, it features diverse landscapes, including pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and alpine areas.


This past May, I had the pleasure of exploring the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. It's truly a hidden gem filled with charming towns and a range of exciting experiences.


Wilsons Promontory National Park was stunning with coastal scenery, hiking trails, and diverse wildlife.


The Gippsland Lakes are Australia’s largest inland waterway, it's ideal for boating, fishing, and bird watching.


Tarra-Bulga National Park is home to ancient rainforests, fern gullies, and rare wildlife.


Metung is a picturesque village on the Gippsland Lakes, known for its waterfront charm and boating activities. The Metung Hot Springs are a must do.


Walhalla is a  historic gold mining town offering heritage tours and a glimpse into Australia's past.


Gippsland is a gourmet haven with fresh local produce, boutique wineries, and farm-to-table dining experiences. The region is rich in agricultural heritage.

The Best Travel Agent EVER!
Dawn is one of the most knowledgable, personable, seasoned and detail oriented travel agent I've had the pleasure to work with. She has handled both my national and international travel for years, both personally and professionally. I've become so spoiled by her knowledge and experience, I find it very hard to book anything without her help! She is fantastic, dependable, and so nice to work with. Five stars! Won't find anyone better.
