IN THE COUNTRY

An hour's train ride to the east of Melbourne, the lush countryside of Gippsland. This is a massive, incredibly diverse region in southeastern Victoria that stretches from Melbourne's eastern outskirts all the way to the New South Wales border. It serves as a natural escape hub, encompassing everything from fertile farmland, mountain resorts, pristine coastlines and Australia's largest inland lake system to dense temperate rainforests, rugged alpine snowfields, and a booming agricultural and renewable energy economy.
