Gippsland – VicParks

Brought to you by nature – all the space, solitude and inspiration you crave

Journey into a natural world of wonder stretching from the NSW border in the north to the ocean in the south.

Home to one of the Southern Hemisphere’s longest beaches and largest lake systems, Gippsland serves up wilderness, wildlife and infinite potential for water-based fun – boat cruising, fishing, sailing, surfing, swimming and paddling.

At Wilsons Promontory, delve into 50,000 hectares of walking tracks, eucalypt forests, granite boulders and sandy beaches.

Look for emus, roos, rosellas and wombats. Squelch your toes in the white sand of Squeaky Beach and take the Lilly Pilly Gully Nature Walk into cool rainforest, before an evening flick at the outdoor cinema.

Those fertile green pastures hint at the gourmet goodness on offer: pick-your-own berries, cow-to-consumer dairy produce, organic fruit and vegetables, cool climate wines and just-caught seafood.

Track down a day of gourmet good will on the Twin Rivers Food and Wine Trail, or take it easy with a lakeside picnic and relax as the afternoon drifts into dusk.

Vast and very visitable … that’s Gippsland.
