Grand Ridge
Road
Gippsland's Grand Ridge Road is one of the great tourist drives of
Victoria. For 132 km it snakes its way along the ridge of the
Strzelecki Ranges, providing
striking views across emerald farmland to the Latrobe Valley in the
north and to Bass Strait in the south.For much of the journey the
motorist is engulfed within a forest of ferns and under towering
trees, regularly emerging into the sunlight to absorb yet another
sweeping valley view |

Walhalla
& Mountain Rivers Trail
Walhalla is Gippsland's most evocative and loved historic town.
Hidden in a deep, steep sided valley, Walhalla is home to fewer
than 20 permanent residents who keep the spirit and memories of
this once thriving village alive. Walhalla was one of Australia's
richest towns after gold was discovered here in 1863.
