Events
There are a wealth of events on the Gippsland calendar to choose from including golf and racing days, music festivals and agricultural celebrations. And, for serious gourmets or those who simply enjoy good food, the towns around Wilsons Promontory and Central Gippsland offer a host of food and wine events showcasing the exceptional local produce of the region. Travel to the region during the Gippsland Food and Wine Festival where the hills really do come alive with the tastes of local produce. Indulge at the Palate of Passions in West Gippsland or spoil yourself with delicious seafood at the Kilcunda Lobster Festival.
If music is what makes your journey worthwhile, both Paynesville and Inverloch host annual jazz festivals, showcasing the best of local talent as well as attracting well-known Australian acts in the music world.
And for adrenaline junkies, Mt Baw Baw offers many snow-capped events during the annual ski season. Try curling, snow-shoeing or cross country skiing. Alternatively, if you're more comfortable saddled into a bike, the Mt Baw Baw Classic is a must for cyclists.
