Welcome to Southern Victoria...
This area is renowned for Wilsons Promontory National Park, with its incomparable coastal, bush and famous mountain walks. Equally celebrated for the endless honey-coloured sands of Ninety Mile Beach, where the surf curls in with its calming rhythm.
The wise traveller does not hurry the drive between these places, as the quiet coast road slips past flawless surf beaches, rich fishing grounds, marine and coastal parks, peaceful inlets and bays.
Not far beyond Wilsons Promontory, the green of the national park gives way to the colour of Victoriai?1/2s maritime history at Port Albert and Port Welshpool. This area was once so prosperous that Port Albert was an official port of entry into Australia, with ships arriving direct from London.
Gold is another chapter of Gippslandi?1/2s history book. One of the richest gold-bearing reefs in Australia was found in Walhalla in Gippslandi?1/2s north.
Today, Gippsland is still full of riches. Its natural produce is highly sought after by those who love the finest food, and its traditional country hospitality is very genuine and warm. The Gourmet Deli Trail winds through the Gippsland countryside. Discover fine produce from land, sea and vine.
Sculptors, potters, painters, glassmakers, craftspeople and Koorie artists have added the attraction of a thriving visual arts community to the natural attractions
