  3. Wonder at Your Fingertips

Escape to Gippsland, a land of wonder. A land of the surprising and delightful. A land to escape the everyday.

The Gippsland region, just east of Melbourne, is home to some serious pinch-yourself wonders - from the dreamiest natural water hole to a monolith jutting from the ocean in the shape of a skull... A clifftop hike serving up front-row ocean drama, to one of the state’s last patches of cool rainforest... A latticework of butterscotch-hued caves to gorges seemingly built from tetris blocks.

These wonders are right at your fingertips.
