| Gippsland, Victoria Directory |
 About the region: the Gippsland region stretches from south-east of Melbourne all the way to the state border with New South Wales in Victoria's far east. It covers hundreds of kilometres of coastline and a rich collection of state and national parks.
The Latrobe Valley, covering the area from Moe to Traralgon in the region's north, is home to the state's massive coal mining and power generation industry. North of the Latrobe Valley are the spectacular mountains of the Great Dividing Range including the popular Alpine and ski resort of Mount Baw Baw.
West Gippsland is characterised by lush, rolling hills and major dairy and farming industries. The Gourmet Deli Trail is a popular tourist route, encompassing a large collection of farms, vineyards and outlets selling local produce and smallgoods.
One of the region's most popular destinations is the Wilsons Promontory National Park, which consists of striking granite peaks and an array of local flora and fauna, forming the southern most tip of mainland Australia.
