The best of both worlds. Head to the high country for skiing in the winter, or walking and mountain biking in the summer. If the weather is warm, meander down to the beach for the day. Or head for the rolling hills of Gippsland and sample some of the region’s finest food and wine. And if you’re looking to the bright lights of Melbourne, it’s just a 90 minute drive from Morwell.
From Wonthaggi to Bairnsdale, Gippsland’s regional centres are rich in community, culture and opportunity. With plenty of options for dining, shopping and recreation, it’s a place where work and lifestyle come together.
