News East Gippsland: The land of the long weekend

East Gippsland is a land of sparkling lakes, hundreds of kilometres of untouched coastline, and high-country adventure... and is well worth the drive time.

Nestled in Victoria’s most eastern pocket, the drive to get there from major cities might be hefty, but it’s a high-reward game of lakeside villages, alpine vistas and pristine shores. Make the most of your long weekends (and don’t be afraid to create your own with a day of leave) to catch some of Victoria’s most unique and pure landscapes.
