  5. Central Gippsland

If you love a sunburnt country and a land of sweeping plains (and high country and rainforest and untouched beaches) this region's for you.

Central Gippsland covers an expanse that reaches from the rugged high country right down to the second longest beach in the world. The region has a staggering array of landscapes, including the twinkling Gippsland Lakes and the emerald oasis that is Tarra Bulga National Park, rounded out with historical attractions aplenty, and fine food and wine.
