You don't need a car to explore Victoria's West Gippsland.
I've never turned up to the pub in a boat before and,after making a memorable nautical entrance to Metung Pub in Gippsland,I may never do it again.
I couldn't choose between Gippsland's rail trails,so I cycled all of them.
To add some seaside to your Gippsland Lakes holiday head to Cape Conran and the Banksia Bluff campground with sites right on the beach.
Huge festival entices visitors to the seaside in winter.
What treasures lie within cavernous Skull Rock have largely been held secret,until now.
With glorious glamping,cosy bush breaks and lavish inner-city stays,there's something for everyone as Victoria begins to blossom once more.
Wine,wildlife,the coast,the bush,the best of local produce and then there's the serenity. Welcome to East Gippsland.
It's a fine place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for the weekend,with or without kids in tow.
When one of the first things you see is the seafood leaping out of the ocean,you know you're in for some good meals.
