Working and living in Gippsland
Escape from city life to explore Gippsland, from Phillip Island to Bairnsdale, and be rewarded with unspoilt beaches, lakes and mountains offering natural landscapes of unparalleled beauty. Take your pick from distinct regional pockets with visits to quaint seaside villages, alpine towns and farming communities. Relax on unspoilt beaches, fill up on farm-fresh produce, locally produced wines and beers or get active on the region's lakes, rivers and mountain ranges.
Relax at the Port of Sale precinct with its selection of cafes and restaurants, or check out the local artistic talents at the renowned Gippsland Art Gallery. A short drive from Sale is the eye catching Ninety Mile Beach, or experience the best of the beach and the lakes in one location at Loch Sport.
You can walk for quiet miles along coastal trails, through national parks and on peaceful country lanes, breathing in ocean-fresh air. Swim, fish, dine al fresco at lakeside restaurants and pubs, picnic by a river or take a stroll through waterfront villages. All of this is at your doorstep living and working in Gippsland.
