Home>About this Site
Nestled in the far east of Victoria, the Shire features wonderful coastline scenery, a lakes and river system to match anywhere in the world, rugged high country, extensive national parks and state forests - and above all, a warm, friendly welcome from the region’s community.
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 from the west.
